“Sex and relationship therapy for people living outside the norm”

I'm Kelly Howard, a sex-positive, trauma-informed psychotherapist offering online therapy to individuals and relationships of all configurations throughout California. Whether you're navigating intimacy, identity, or a relationship in transition — this is a space built for the full complexity of who you are. My practice is affirming and celebratory of gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity.
Non-binary, queer, kinky, non-monogamous, polyamorous, and questioning clients are not just welcome here — this work was designed with you in mind.
My practice covers a wide range of sex and relationship specialties. Some common areas include: Desire discrepancy & reigniting intimacy / Sexual orientation exploration / Non-nuclear household navigation / Gottman method & communication / Kink & BDSM dynamics / Relationship structure & philosophy exploration / Discernment counseling / Conscious uncoupling
I am a perpetual student, educator, and healer — with a deep desire to keep learning about relationships and the human condition throughout my life and career. I meet you wherever you are. There is no agenda, no "right" outcome, and nothing too much for this space. My style is warm, curious, and non-judgmental.
