     Sex Therapy
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy

I work with couples in consensual non-monogamous relationships on many of the same things that I work with couples in monogamous relationships: communication, intimacy, connection, jealousy/insecurities, betrayals.  I look at a relationship as what those coming in define their relationship as and don’t follow what the general societal expectations/norms of a relationship are.  I also work with the kink community and enjoy being a support in the work they want to do individually or as a couple/polycule/constellation/tribe-whatever word you use for your relationship(s).  I also enjoy helping individuals that are experiencing various sexual dysfunctions such as premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and pain with intercourse.  If you are looking for a therapist that you can feel free to be yourself and who understands your experience, I’d love to work with you.

Relationships are hard, we often think we know what the other person is thinking, how they feel, but most of the time what our partner is thinking or feeling is very different from what their actions are telling us.  I work with couples and individuals to help them understand what their partner, child, parent, even co-workers, (anyone they have a relationship with) is saying.  We work on what comes up for them, what that makes them think, and the moves they make in response to this.  We explore how the moves they are making impact their relationships and connections they have with others and work on shifting these so that they are able to improve their intimacy and connections.  If you are feeling disconnected, I would like to help you reconnect with those you love the most.

Meet Amanda Samuels

I’m passionate about helping others connect with those that are important in their lives.  We are designed to need connection with others and when we feel disconnected, it can start to affect other aspects of our lives.  I want to help you learn how to hear your partner, not just their words.  How does it make them feel, what past experiences does it trigger, why is it important or meaningful to them, and what would help/what do they need.  When we are able to understand why someone is doing something from their perspective, something that didn’t seem rational or acceptable suddenly makes sense.
