Jesse Jones, LMFT
About me
I believe in you and your stories.
We each hold the power to define our story, identity, and sexuality.
Sex, love, gender, relationships, and romance—these topics can be tricky to navigate and often uncomfortable to address. I am here to assist you (and your partners) in tackling these concepts and conversations with affirmation, validation, and a little humor.
I am dedicated to helping you develop the skills needed to live your most authentic life. As a member of the LGBTQ, non-monogamous, nudist, kink, and neurodivergent communities, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with expressing your true self. Navigating these complexities can be difficult, but you are not alone—I am here to support you on your journey toward a more fulfilling and joyful life.
Together, we will address issues by focusing on your successes and how you want your story to be understood. Whether you need support with gender, men's and women's issues, non-monogamy, kink and BDSM dynamics, relationship concerns, societal stressors, or LGBTQ concerns, I provide a safe space for exploration within the spectrums of Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD).
I am trained in Sex Therapy, including Gender-Affirming Sex Therapy for those reacquainting with their bodies during or after gender transition. My approach is informed by social justice. I draw from Narrative therapy, postmodern, and sex-positive feminist theory. I believe the problem is the problem and that you are never the problem, and that you are the expert of your own life and the shared expert of your own relationship. I am an active observer who offers kind feedback to help you establish the preferred life you want to be living.
I am here to help you highlight your power and navigate life's challenges. I am exceptionally excited to work with you!
