Care Without Explanation
Kink-Affirming Therapy
Your interests are not a diagnosis. You can bring the concern that actually brought you to therapy.
The Starting Assumption
You Do Not Have to Defend Yourself
Maybe you have spent appointments explaining basic language before you could discuss the anxiety or relationship conflict that brought you there. Andrea does not treat kink as a symptom requiring correction. You may want to discuss communication, boundaries, or something unrelated.
Your interests need not be the center of treatment unless you want them to be. Therapy begins with your concern, not an assumption about your relationships or choices. If a past therapist treated consensual interests as the problem, it makes sense to be cautious at first. You can ask how Andrea approaches that concern and decide whether the fit is right. If the issue you bring involves a partner, you can also discuss whether individual or couples sessions would make more sense. The decision depends on what you want to address together and what you would rather examine privately.
In Session
Talk About the Actual Difficulty
Andrea asks what is happening and what you want help understanding. If you are dealing with conflict, you can describe how agreements are made and where conversation becomes difficult. If shame is present, the work can include how past messages shape what you say now.
Kink-affirming therapy is talk therapy. There is no sexual contact or physical sexual activity in a session. An affirming approach means the concern can be examined without casting your consensual interests as the problem.
Choosing Care
Individual or Shared Conversation
Individual Therapy is $225 for 50 minutes when you want to work on anxiety or boundaries. Sex Therapy is $250 for 50 minutes if the concern centers on intimacy or shame. Andrea can help clarify the fit without requiring you to label yourself before reaching out.
If partners want to discuss agreements together, Couples and Sex Therapy is $300 for 50 minutes. Your relationship structure is not something to be changed by the therapist. What matters is how you communicate and respond when expectations differ.
