Places to Look for Sex Positive Professionals (Finding the Right Therapist, part II)

I wrote before about some questions anyone might ask a therapist to assess whether you'll be a good match. How do find out who you might want to ask? For a person with alternative relationship styles or sexual preferences, this first step can be difficult. Word of mouth and referrals from other friendly professionals are the best option. When that fails, here are some existing referral lists that might help*.

Open Minds: Psychotherapists Affirming Sexual and Gender Diversity
Loving More Poly Professionals Listings
Poly-Friendly Professionals List 
The Open List : All kinds of professionals who have experience with or are open to alternative sexualities and lifestyles
Resources for LGBTQQI2S People in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties
Kink Aware Professionals

As I find more lists, I'll keep adding them. Many of the professionals on these lists may maintain there own referral lists, as well. Do you know of any others? Share them here!

*I know these lists by recommendation only. I have not evaluated these professionals, and I have never met most of them.

OpenSF Conference

The OpenSF conference was inspiring! Now there are some exciting new groups I'd like to form: a support group about sex for people with disabilities and an expressive arts play group. And writing ideas: pleasure is good for you, sex as a wellness tool, and can open relationships destroy capitalism? I'll be writing about all that and more as soon as I've had a chance to let it all sink in!
