Elyssa Helfer, Ph.D., MA, LMFT, CST, ABS

My primary area of expertise is working with issues related to sexuality- primarily kink/BDSM/fetishes. We are living in a world where we are not encouraged to explore our sexuality and innermost desires, and I want to change that. We are constantly stunted and shamed by the societal expectation that sex and love can only exist in one form and are often told that being in monogamous vanilla relationships are the only “right” way to connect. Well, my life’s work is to fight to break that mold both within and outside of the therapy room. Whether exploring Kink/BDSM/Fetishes, Swing Lifestyles, Non-Monogamy in its many forms, Sex Work and more, I am here to help you uncover and embrace your most authentic and aligned self and to help that blossom in an affirming, non-judgmental and empowering way.
