Non-monogamous Therapy

What is Non-Monogamous Therapy?

Is non-monogamous therapy the same as traditional couples counseling? Yes and no. Couples counseling is typically designed for a pair who practice monogamy. They may be seeking guidance for unresolved conflict, intimacy issues, or an inability to communicate needs. Non-monogamous therapy or poly-affirming therapy is intentionally inclusive of individuals and partnerships within consensual non-monogamy (CNM). This might include polyamorous, open, or other relationship structures, many of which include LGBTQIA+ or queer individuals.

How Can Non-Monogamous Therapy Help?

While poly relationships can be deeply fulfilling, they’re not immune to challenges. Non-monogamous therapy can be tailored to include all partners at once or focus on the needs of one individual within a CNM dynamic; even when the issues extend beyond the relationship itself.

Common areas of focus include:

• Setting and respecting boundaries

• Strengthening assertive and effective communication

• Managing difficult emotions like jealousy, resentment, or anxiety

• Navigating social stigma and discrimination

• Reigniting intimacy and meeting sexual needs

• Balancing time, energy, and emotional availability among partners

• Repairing trust and resolving conflict
