Polyamory & Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM) Therapy

Sound familiar?

  • “I’m navigating multiple relationships and could use support.”
  • “I’m tired of explaining that my relationship isn’t ‘less serious’ just because it’s not monogamous” 
  • “Is it okay that I love more than one person?” 
  • “I want help managing time, communication, and boundaries in my relationships” 
  • “Can I find a therapist who understands chosen family and polycules?” 
  • “My partner and I are opening up, and we want support doing it well” 
  • “I want help with jealousy, not shame about feeling it” 
  • “How do I stay grounded while navigating multiple emotional connections
  • “Is it okay that my relationship doesn’t look traditional?” 
  • “I want to grow in how I show up for my partners and for myself” 
  • “I want therapy that celebrates my relationships, not tolerates them.”

If any of these feel familiar, you’re not alone. Many people in polyamorous and consensually non-monogamous relationships seek therapy that truly understands their relational world; not one that tries to fit them into a monogamous mold. You deserve support that affirms your identity, values your capacity for connection, and helps you navigate relationships with clarity and confidence.

Why Choose Us?

We believe your relationship structure is not a problem to solve; it’s a meaningful expression of who you are. You shouldn’t have to shrink your truth to fit into someone else’s idea of love, commitment, or connection. We’re here to support you in living fully, authentically, and with the tools to navigate the unique dynamics of consensual non-monogamy.

Here’s what sets us apart:

Affirming, CNM-Informed Therapists
You won’t need to spend sessions explaining the basics of polyamory or justifying your relationships. Our therapists are trained in working with diverse relationship structures, including hierarchical and non-hierarchical polyamory, relationship anarchy, open relationships, and polycules. We meet you where you’re at — with respect and curiosity.

Non-Judgmental, Shame-Free Space
Whether you’re new to non-monogamy or have been practicing for years, we hold space for all the emotions, joys, and challenges that can come with it. You’ll never be shamed for loving more than one person, questioning your relationship model, or wanting to do better.

Support for All Relationship Configurations
We work with individuals, couples, triads, polycules, and chosen families. Whether you're navigating boundaries, opening up a previously monogamous relationship, or deepening communication among multiple partners; we offer tailored support to meet your needs.

Rooted in Consent and Communication
Clear communication and consent are foundational in CNM relationships. We help you build those skills while also exploring what gets in the way — like fear, attachment, boundaries, and past experiences.

Trauma-Informed and Identity-Affirming
We recognize that many CNM folks carry relational or identity-based trauma. Our therapists are trauma-informed, queer-affirming, and sex-positive. We’re here to support your healing without asking you to abandon the parts of you that make you whole.

What We Support

Whether you're new to consensual non-monogamy or have been practicing for years, our therapists provide support that honours your relationships, your values, and your growth. There’s no “right” way to do CNM, just what’s right for you and your people.

Here are some of the areas we commonly support:

  • Opening Up a Relationship:  Support for couples or individuals navigating the transition from monogamy to ethical non-monogamy, including managing fears, expectations, and conversations.

  • Communication and Boundary Setting:  Tools for more honest, clear, and compassionate communication between partners, including setting agreements that feel good for everyone involved.

  • Jealousy, Insecurity, and Attachment:  Exploring emotions like jealousy and fear without shame. Understanding where they come from and learning how to move through them with care.

  • Time Management and Emotional Bandwidth:  Balancing multiple relationships, self-care, and life demands; without burning out or losing connection to your own needs.

  • Conflict Resolution Across Relationships:  Working through disagreements in ways that honor everyone involved, including navigating power dynamics, hurt, or misunderstanding.

  • Support for Relationship Structures of All Kinds:  Hierarchical, non-hierarchical, relationship anarchy, polycules, solo poly, open relationships, and more; all identities and configurations are welcome.

  • Exploring Identity Within CNM:  For clients questioning what kind of relationship structure feels most aligned with their evolving sense of self.

  • Parenting, Co-Parenting, and Family Planning:  Navigating CNM as parents or in blended/chosen family structures, including age-appropriate conversations and boundaries with kids.

  • Deconstructing Cultural Scripts Around Monogamy:  Exploring how societal expectations have shaped your beliefs about love, commitment, and what a “real” relationship is — and rewriting that script.

  • Sexual Health, Consent, and Risk Awareness:  Creating agreements and practices that center your health and the health of your partners.

  • Grief, Transitions, and Relationship Endings:  Support through breakups, changes in dynamic, or grief over shifting relationships.

Who Is This For?

This space is for anyone navigating consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, or other non-traditional relationship structures who wants support without judgment or confusion.

You might be:

  • In a monogamous relationship and curious about opening up

  • Already practicing polyamory and wanting support with communication, boundaries, or emotional regulation

  • A couple or group navigating complex dynamics within a polycule

  • Feeling overwhelmed by time management, jealousy, or mismatched needs

  • Interested in relationship anarchy, solo polyamory, or other non-hierarchical models

  • Seeking therapy that celebrates your lifestyle rather than tolerates it

  • Looking for individual support as someone who dates people in non-monogamous relationships

  • Working through past relational trauma while staying true to your identity

  • A parent or caregiver wanting to practice CNM while also caring for your family

  • New to CNM and just trying to figure out what feels right for you

You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t need the “perfect” relationship structure. All you need is a willingness to explore, reflect, and grow. We’re here to walk alongside you as you do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be in a polyamorous or non-monogamous relationship to benefit from this therapy?

Not at all. Many clients come to us while they’re still exploring what kind of relationship structure fits best for them. Whether you're curious, just starting out, or deeply embedded in CNM, this therapy is for anyone who wants a supportive space to reflect and grow. 

What if I’m in a monogamous relationship, but I’m thinking about opening it up?

That’s a great time to start therapy. We can help you explore your motivations, understand your needs, and communicate clearly with your partner. Therapy can support you in creating intentional, respectful transitions. 

Will I have to teach my therapist about polyamory?

No. Our therapists are trained and affirming of diverse relationship models. We understand the language, dynamics, and values common in polyamory and CNM communities, so you can focus on your own growth instead of educating your therapist. 

What if my partner(s) and I disagree on how we want our relationship to look?

That’s common, and therapy can help. We support couples and polycules in working through differences, developing shared agreements, and improving communication; all while honoring individual autonomy and emotional needs. 

Can I come alone, or do I need to come with my partner(s)?

Both options are welcome. Some people come alone to explore their experiences within CNM. Others come with a partner or multiple partners. We can structure therapy in a way that works best for your goals and relationships. 

Will therapy try to push me toward monogamy or label my relationships as dysfunctional?

Absolutely not. We are affirming of all ethical and consensual relationship structures. Our goal is to help you build the kind of relationships that align with your values; not someone else's expectations. 

What kinds of issues do people in polyamorous relationships bring to therapy?

Common topics include jealousy, time management, communication challenges, boundary setting, emotional regulation, navigating new relationship energy (NRE), identity exploration, grief and breakups, and more. We’re here to support the full range of your experiences. 

Do you offer support for navigating breakups or changes in dynamic?

Yes. Polyamorous relationships can involve complex grief and transitions, especially when a connection ends or shifts. We offer space to process these changes with compassion and clarity. 

Is this therapy LGBTQ+ inclusive?

Always. Many folks in CNM and polyam communities are also queer, trans, or gender-diverse. Our team is deeply affirming of all gender identities and sexual orientations.
