Alternative Access Counseling
In Operation
Description
Mission: Alternative Access Counseling is committed to making therapy and coaching more accessible for consenting adults who engage in alternative sexual and relationship expressions, regardless of disability or location. We aim to equip our clients with the tools, resources, and awareness to create their own paths, and to build the courage to take the first steps.
About Amy Studer (she/zir): As an LGBT+, consensual non-monogamy affirming, kink-positive counselor, I will always work with you as a team to embrace your identities and problem solve barriers to living authentically. I practice solution focused therapy, DBT, CBT, Feminist therapy, and sex-positivism and will decide with you which approach you would be most comfortable using.
