Affirming Therapy for Open, Poly and Non-Traditional Relationships
Therapy where you feel seen, heard, and understood—because we’ve been there.
Many people desire or need more than one sexual or romantic partner to feel fulfilled in life. Seeking or living in open, poly, or ENM relationships presents a unique set of challenges and rewards that deserve specialized care and understanding by your therapist in order to best support your wellness and happiness. Freelife therapists have training and experience supporting clients whose sexual and romantic lives differ from what much of society expects or demands of them. We can help you balance achieving a life of fulfillment while successfully navigating the unique complexities of open, poly, and ENM life.

Benefits of Therapy for Polyamorous Individuals
Therapy at Freelife provides a supportive space to explore and celebrate nontraditional relationships. It helps foster self-acceptance by allowing you to overcome stigma and embrace your true self. Through therapy, you can improve communication with your partners, strengthening your ability to express needs and understand each other. It also provides guidance in navigating complex dynamics, such as managing boundaries, consent, and relationship structures. Emotional challenges like feelings of shame or isolation can be addressed, offering healing and reassurance. Therapy supports you in strengthening relationships by building trust and fostering deeper connections, empowering you to celebrate your identity and live authentically without judgment.
At Freelife, therapy means working with professionals who truly understand your world—because they’ve lived it too. Our therapists don’t just affirm your identity; they deeply grasp the experiences, challenges, and nuances of polyamory, LGBTQ+, and kink communities. This shared perspective enables us to provide expert guidance with authenticity and a genuine connection that stems from true understanding. Here, you’re not just seen—you’re fully understood and supported as you navigate your unique relationships and personal journey.
