Ethical Non-Monogamy Therapy

Therapy for ENM, Polyamory, and Open Relationships

Ethical non-monogamy (ENM) encompasses a wide range of relationship structures built on the principles of open communication, consent, and respect. Whether you are in an open relationship, practicing polyamory, or exploring other forms of consensual non-monogamy, you deserve a therapeutic space that is affirming and knowledgeable. At Equilibrium Psychotherapy, our therapists are experienced in working with diverse relationship structures and are committed to helping you and your partners navigate the unique joys and challenges that come with ENM.

A Space to Define Your Relationships

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to ethical non-monogamy. The beauty of ENM is the freedom it offers to create a relationship structure that aligns with your authentic self and your partners. In therapy, we can help you explore and define what works for you. Whether you're just beginning to open up a previously monogamous relationship or have been practicing ENM for years, we can help you clarify your needs, establish clear agreements, and build a foundation of trust and security.

Navigating Common Challenges in ENM

While ENM can be incredibly rewarding, it can also bring up complex emotions and logistical challenges. Our therapists can provide support in navigating issues such as jealousy, time management, and communication breakdowns. We offer a non-judgmental space to process these feelings and develop strategies for strengthening your connections. Whether you're seeking individual therapy to explore your own feelings or relational therapy with one or more partners, we are here to help.
