At Expansive Therapy, we offer affirming therapy for individuals, partners, and relationship networks exploring or practicing polyamory, open relationships, and other forms of consensual non-monogamy (CNM).

Common Topics We Explore in Therapy for Polyamorous and Open Relationships

Whether you’re new to polyamory or have been practicing for years, therapy can offer valuable tools for navigating challenges and deepening connections. In therapy, we often explore:

1. Communication and Emotional Transparency

Clear, honest communication is the foundation of healthy polyamorous and open relationships. Therapy can help strengthen skills like active listening, emotional regulation, and managing difficult conversations with care.

2. Setting Boundaries and Agreements

Navigating multiple relationships often requires clear, evolving agreements. Therapy provides a safe space to clarify boundaries, negotiate agreements, and align expectations with partners.

3. Managing Jealousy and Insecurity

Feelings like jealousy and insecurity are natural and normal. Therapy can support you in understanding and working through these emotions with compassion and self-awareness.

4. Exploring Attachment Styles

Your attachment style can impact how you relate to different partners. Therapy helps you recognize patterns and create more secure, fulfilling relationships.

5. Addressing Social Stigma and Isolation

Consensual non-monogamy is still often misunderstood. Therapy offers a space to process experiences of judgment or exclusion, helping you build resilience and confidence in your relationship choices.

6. Supporting Relationship Growth and Change

Relationships — like people — grow and change. Therapy can guide you through transitions such as adding new partners, redefining agreements, or restructuring relationships with mutual care and respect.
