About me

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

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Moushumi Ghose. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

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.

Moushumi is responsive, attentive, and full of calm and positive energy and listens and makes you think, in a good way! Part coach, part therapist, it is easy to be comfortable around her and work through whatever is on your mind.
