Sex Positive and Kink Allied

Sexuality is a natural and important part of who we are. Yet for many, past experiences, societal messages, or shame can create barriers to embracing sexuality in a healthy, fulfilling way. At Botaitis Therapy Group, we offer a sex-positive, kink-allied space where all identities and experiences are respected. We believe therapy should be a place where clients can explore their sexuality without fear of judgment, stigma, or misunderstanding.

What Sex Positive, Kink Allied Means:

Being sex positive means recognizing that consensual sexual expression, in all its forms, is a normal and healthy part of life. It involves approaching conversations about sex with openness, respect, and affirmation, whether the topic is pleasure, orientation, relationships, or personal boundaries.

Being kink allied means we affirm and respect clients who engage in BDSM, kink, and non-traditional relationship structures. We understand that these experiences are not problems to be solved but parts of a diverse spectrum of human sexuality. Therapy should be a space where you do not have to educate your therapist or defend your experiences.

How Therapy Can Support You:

  1. Shame Reduction: Therapy can help unravel feelings of guilt, shame, or fear around sexual expression that may have been internalized from cultural or familial messages.

  2. Identity Exploration: Clients are supported in exploring their sexual identity, desires, and boundaries in a safe and affirming environment.

  3. Communication and Consent: Therapy can strengthen skills for communicating needs, desires, and boundaries clearly, whether in traditional or non-traditional relationships.

  4. Healing from Past Harm: For individuals who have experienced trauma or negative experiences related to their sexuality, therapy offers a path toward healing and reclaiming agency.

  5. Relationship Support: We help individuals and partners navigate conversations about intimacy, trust, and exploration in a way that centers respect and consent.

Our Commitment:

At Botaitis Therapy Group, we are committed to creating a therapy environment where your whole self is welcome. We honor all sexual orientations, gender identities, relationship structures, and expressions of intimacy. Whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of yourself, heal past wounds, or simply have a space where you can be fully seen and heard, we are here to support you.
