BDSM & Kink Affirming Care

At Abundance Counseling Services, we provide affirming, nonjudgmental, and knowledgeable care for individuals and partners within BDSM, kink, and alternative sexual expression communities. Our clinicians recognize that kink can be a healthy, consensual form of intimacy, identity, and self-expression. We create a space that honors each person’s values, boundaries, and autonomy—free from pathologizing or shame. Whether clients are exploring power dynamics, processing relationship challenges, or navigating communication and consent, we work collaboratively to support authenticity and emotional safety.

Our approach integrates Somatic Experiencing (SE) to increase body awareness and regulate arousal states, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address trauma or negative past experiences related to sexuality, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge internalized shame or stigma. We also draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method principles to enhance connection, trust, and communication within relationships. Each treatment plan is individualized and grounded in a sex-positive, trauma-informed framework that supports empowered exploration and integration of kink identity.
