Kink Positive Therapy

Where you're heard, understood, and supported.

For some, kink can be all about exploring fantasies and behaviors that bring about excitement, enjoyment, and even healing. For others, it is an identity, a way of forming relationships, and finding community. Freelife therapists are trained and experienced in helping clients discuss the many roles kink can play in your mental health and happiness and the unique joys and challenges it can bring. Whether you are at the beginning of exploring kinky fantasy or desire or currently living a life where kink or BDSM plays a major role, we are here to support you in your mental health needs.
