About Joanne Gonzales LMFT
Hello! My name is Joanne. I’m a therapist specializing in inclusive, affirming care for queer, poly, and kinky individuals and their loved ones. therapy should always be a safe space for individuals to work on their deepest vulnerabilities, so let’s talk about stuff like gender identity, orientation, nudity, relationship styles, safe sex, or body image to name a few. the general public can be sex-negative at times, and so, too many people feel shame over identities, desires, and behaviors that are perfectly healthy. Sex is everywhere in our culture, yet meaningful conversations about sex isn’t.
My goal is to access your natural strengths and develop tools to better cope with the issues you bring to therapy. I utilize a person-centered, narrative approach to therapy that is respectful and empowering. I’m committed to creating an anti-oppressive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and sex-positive environment for our work together.
I work with non-monogamous clients, kinky clients, clients that work in the sex industry, and clients exploring their sexuality. My ideal clients are looking for a therapist that respects their identity and won’t shame their relationship. You’re the expert in your life, therapy should reflect that and our relationship should be collaborative. Let’s do some work together!
