Being in a polyamorous, ENM (ethical non-monogamy), or consensually non-monogamous relationship is not a disorder or a problem—it’s a valid and authentic relationship style built on communication, trust, and intentional choice. Unfortunately, many people in non-monogamous relationships face stigma, misunderstanding, or judgment from society, family, or even traditional therapy spaces that aren’t affirming of ENM.
Our Polyamory, ENM, and Non-Monogamy Affirming Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental space where your relationships are respected, your choices are validated, and your unique challenges can be explored with compassion and understanding.
Therapy can help you and your partners strengthen communication, navigate boundaries, and create healthy, fulfilling connections that align with your values and desires.
People in polyamorous or ENM relationships often face unique challenges, including:
Stigma & Judgment – Coping with misconceptions, rejection, or lack of understanding from society, family, or professionals
Boundary Setting – Creating clear agreements around intimacy, time, and expectations
Communication Challenges – Expressing needs honestly while honoring multiple partners with care and respect
Jealousy & Insecurity – Processing natural emotions that can arise in complex dynamics
Identity & Self-Acceptance – Exploring your authentic relationship style without shame or pressure to conform
Family & Social Dynamics – Addressing challenges around children, in-laws, or introducing partners to family
Emotional Well-Being – Building resilience and self-compassion while navigating a nontraditional path
When ignored, these struggles can lead to stress, isolation, or strain in relationships. But with affirming support, ethical non-monogamy can be a source of deep trust, authenticity, and emotional growth.
We’re so confident in our extraordinary therapists that we guarantee you’ll love your match – or your money back.
At My LA Therapy, our highly-vetted Anxiety experts are selected not only for their clinical acumen but for who they are.
Therapy offers a compassionate, affirming space to embrace your relationship style, navigate challenges, and strengthen your connections. Together, we work on:
We believe that love is not one-size-fits-all. In therapy, we take a collaborative, affirming approach that supports individuals and partners in polyamory, ENM, or other forms of ethical non-monogamy:
We use evidence-based, trauma-informed, and affirming techniques to support individuals and partners in polyamory and non-monogamy, including:
Somatic Therapy – Releasing stress stored in the body from relationship conflicts or external judgment.
Attachment & Relationship-Focused Work – Exploring how attachment styles shape communication and connection.
Therapy can help you move from feeling isolated or misunderstood to empowered and connected—where your relationship choices are not a source of shame but a celebration of authenticity, trust, and love.
I am blown away! I don’t write testimonials, unless I have been extremely moved by something. I was blessed to work with Brooke on a single session, and before this I was in therapy on and off with multiple therapists for the last 20 years of my life. Brooke was able to do more in one session than many years of work with my previous therapist. She has the true gift of great insight and compassion while also getting straight to the heart of your blind spots and unconscious issues in a way that has truly changed my life.

There are people who are good at their work there are people like Brooke: who are born to do it. I cannot recommend Brooke more highly. I can only imagine where I would be today if I had started working with her years ago. From the beginning of our session, she knew exactly what tools and questions that would work for my particular psychology and my personal experience. No other therapist has been able to do that or anything close.
What I also really appreciate from our session is Brooke's ability to go directly to the source of the issue while also keeping a very gentle and kind energy with me. I felt very seen, understood, and supported. Everything and more that I could have ever asked for from a therapist. I have a severe trauma history and complex issues she was able to immediately identify and help. If she could help me, I know she can help you too.

You did more in 45 minutes than my last therapist did in a year.

With your help, I've finally started to understand that while my vivid imagination often wants to create terrifying monsters under the bed, in a lot of cases those monsters are nothing more than a heap of decidedly less-terrifying laundry I've avoided for too long that just needs to be aired out and put away. Which is definitely a lot easier than monster slaying. Thank you for shedding light in the dark places I was too afraid to face alone.

I am extremely fortunate to work with Sydney, who is helping me create real internal change. The talent to listen well is Hall of Fame stuff, and she has that. She then follows with questions, strategies that are organic to the moment. I have come to believe that deep, radical, if occasionally deeply painful change ... and, then, healing can happen. I'm just at the lip of that last part - but would not have gotten there, AT ALL, without Sydney

The best therapist ever! Life-changing 🙂

Right now, the work is changing my life, sometimes in inches, sometimes in miles.
