Polyamorous & Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM) Couples Therapy
Therapy for relationships beyond monogamy, centered in respect, consent, and connection.
Our Approach
Polyamorous & Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM) Couples Therapy provides a safe, affirming space for partners navigating non-traditional relationship structures. Whether you’re in a polyamorous triad, exploring an open relationship, practicing relationship anarchy, or figuring out your values and agreements, this form of therapy supports emotional growth, communication, and shared intention.
Rather than pathologizing non-monogamy, we honor it as a legitimate and fulfilling relational choice. Therapy can help you work through common challenges like jealousy, time management, miscommunication, or shifting agreements—without judgment. It’s not about enforcing rules, but about discovering what integrity, care, and clarity look like for your relationship.
How Poly and ENM Therapy Works with Us
Affirming, collaborative care rooted in your unique relationship structure.
At Talk Therapy Collective, we understand that every polycule, open relationship, or ENM constellation is different. Here's how our therapy process supports your journey:
Initial Consultation
We start with a collaborative intake to understand your relationship dynamics, values, and goals. We clarify who is involved in therapy and what structure makes the most sense—whether that’s multiple partners in one room or meeting with dyads separately.
Relationship Mapping
We explore emotional dynamics, communication patterns, agreements, and pain points. You’ll have the space to voice your needs, fears, desires, and boundaries—with support in holding complexity.
Skill-Building & Repair
We use evidence-based techniques (like EFT, Nonviolent Communication, and Parts Work) to help partners move from reactive patterns to connected dialogue. Together, we’ll strengthen your capacity to navigate conflict, express needs, and repair ruptures with intention.
Celebrating Strengths
This isn’t just problem-solving. We’ll highlight what’s working—your resilience, creativity, intimacy, and love languages—and help you build on it.
Whether you’re new to polyamory or years into your journey, our goal is to support clarity, trust, and mutual care—on your terms.
