Allison Marx

Are you looking for a therapist who is sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, poly-friendly, and kink-knowledgeable? If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, feeling stuck in patterns of people-pleasing perfectionist thinking, healing from trauma, exploring your identity, or navigating a change in your life or relationships, you deserve a supportive, non-judgmental place to sort through it all. If you’ve ever wanted an affirming therapist who won’t raise an eyebrow if you mention multiple partners or the fact that you went to a dungeon last weekend, you’ve come to the right place! I am a sex-positive, kink/BDSM-knowledgeable therapist who specializes in working with adults in polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous relationships; queer, trans, and non-binary individuals. I utilize art therapy, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), somatic techniques, and mindfulness to help people manage stress and overwhelm, understand themselves better, improve their relationships, and change unhelpful patterns to find balance in their lives. I also have a background in the arts, and love working with people in the film/tv industry or other creative professions. My therapeutic style is client-centered, trauma-informed, and warm but direct. Laughter, tears, swearing, dark humor, movie references, and stories about your pets are all welcome in sessions with me! If you’d like to get started or you have any questions, I’d love to hear from you. www.allisonmarxlmft.com
