Farrah Bonnot (she/her)

I am extremely active with the kink community, often presenting at conferences and providing education. I have been a member of this community for a number of years and have an extensive understanding of dynamics and power exchange. I am able to work with individuals or couples and, when working with me, there is no need to defend or hide the dynamics of your relationship(s) as I already possess high levels of understanding of the BDSM, D/s, and kink community.

I work with individuals, couples, triads, and polycules of all configurations to achieve healthy communication, reduce jealousy, negotiate boundaries, and resolve common conflicts experienced in non-traditional relationship styles. I work extensively to provide education to (and on) the polyam, ENM, CNM community and see these relationship styles as valid and healthy, not psychopathological.

As a member of this community (as with the other communities I serve) I have lived experience of the microaggressions and struggles faced by the LGBTQIA+ or SAGA community when attempting to access mental health care. I provide a sex positive and affirming space to explore all aspects of sexuality, gender, and relationship, but also understand the ways in which simply belonging to this community impacts other aspects of a person's life.

My theoretical orientation is cognitive behavioral therapy with an emphasis on development and social learning theory. I use a trauma focused lens and a sex positive perspective for all clients. However, the therapeutic experience is a collaborative one where the client and therapist work together. You choose the goal and together we discover a way to achieve that goal.

I am working on my level one Gottman training and a PhD in marriage and family therapy. In couples, my focus is on emotional literacy, improving communication, and identification of patterns. I work with couples and non-traditional relationship styles, including polycules.

I work from a trauma focused perspective and let the client lead the way. While a person comes into therapy to discuss their trauma, the therapeutic experience itself ought not to be traumatic. I provide a warm, supportive environment from which to explore closure and the depression, anxiety, and negative thoughts that frequently arise from traumatic experiences.

As a member of these communities I combine lived experience with education and clinical knowledge to provide support to the LGBTQIA+, ethical non-monogamous, and Kink communities. I am inclusive of all non-traditional relationship styles and actively support Power Exchange dynamics in my practice.

I work with all forms of neurodivergence and support couples and relationships to connect across the neurotypical/neurodivergent communication gap. I am well-versed in ADHD/ADD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, sensory processing issues, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and attachment struggles etc.
