Moushumi offers a different perspective to the root of whatever problem you may be having with yourself, as well as give some relationship advice if that problem is spilling into your relationships. Moushumi also has an aptitude for analyzing dreams and tying them to what may be going on in your life. I recommend her as a good starting point for your journey.

More about Moushumi

Hello! I have been working with couples and individuals, specifically in the realm of kink-positive, sex-positive couples therapy, specializing in ethical and consensual non-monogamy, but empowering ALL relationships regardless of format and sex lives since opening my practice in 2007. My work focuses on developing stronger communication, a better understanding and awareness of our desires, driving forces, and developing a deeper connection between mind and body. I work to help people break down shame, guilt and to feel more positive, to develop healthier attitudes around sex, sexuality, gender, fluidity and more. I deal with relationship issues, and have extensive experience with ethical and consensual non monogamy (enm/cnm), polyamory, kink, LGBTQIA++, sex work, dating concerns, creative expression, sexual/social minorities, gender issues, BIPOC.

I have extensive experience working with trauma around religion and sex.

I feel that all things are interconnected. Our relationships cannot be healed unless we look at ourselves and vice versa. Our psychological experiences will have an affect on our bodies.

Some issues I can help you with might include:

Polyamory, Consensual Non Monogamy

Sex Therapy

Relationship Concerns

LGBTQ

Transgender, Agender, Non-Binary

Infidelity

Sexual Trauma

Fear of Intimacy

Lack of Sexual Desire, Problems with Arousal

Feelings of Guilt, Fear, Anxiety around Sex

Uncertainty About Sexual Orientation or Gender

Emotional Love Addictions

Career Changes

Breaking Up

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Talking with Mou has been very therapeutic for me. I've recently gone through a divorce and I've started exploring my sexuality out of the bounds of a traditional monogamous relationship. She has been very nonjudgmental and supportive of me, which is something that I appreciated very much, and yet Mou made sure that I'm safe and honest with my partners. She also wrote some amazing books, which makes me proud to be talking with her online.
