Ali Rose Lesakowski, LMSW (She/They/We)
Staff Therapist
As a Licensed Master Social Worker, I work with adults and partners who want more honest, connected, and expansive relationships with themselves and others, including folks who are questioning, and those in LGBTQIA+, kink/BDSM, and consensual non-monogamous communities. Starting therapy around sex, relationships, or identity can feel vulnerable—and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
My approach is collaborative, affirming, and rooted in curiosity and compassion. I primarily work from a trauma-informed, Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens, integrating somatic and body-based practices to help you build a deeper connection to yourself, work with protective parts with compassion, and move through shame toward a more authentic expression of desire, pleasure, and relational freedom. As a Registered Yoga Teacher and Certified Somatic Tantra Sex Coach, I thoughtfully incorporate breathwork, mindfulness, nervous system awareness, and body-based interventions to support clients in reconnecting with sensation, embodiment, and agency. This integration allows us to move beyond insight alone—supporting change that is felt, not just understood.
Our first session is a space to get to know each other, talk about what’s bringing you in, and begin shaping what you want more of in your relationships, your sexuality, and your life. I aim to create a space that is warm, direct, and nonjudgmental—where all parts of you are welcome, and where we move at a pace that honors both safety and discomfort, while together finding a healthy edge for growth.
I came to this work through my own healing journey and a deep commitment to accessible, affirming, and liberating care. I believe people deserve spaces where their desires, identities, and relational choices are met with respect and care. If this resonates, I welcome you to reach out when you feel ready.
