Kink & BDSM Therapy

It’s about freedom. It’s about grasping control and letting it all go.

“Kink is an intimate experience, an exchange of power between people that can be physical, erotic, sexual, psychological, spiritual, or, most often, some combination.”

- Tristan Taormino, author of The Ultimate Guide to Kink

Kink is about understanding who you are and who you will allow yourself to be. It’s about testing limits and exploring your desires. It’s about empowerment. It’s about dominance and submission and everything in between. 

At Rebel Heart, we look at kink as an orientation. You aren’t just a person that likes kink. You are, at the heart of yourself, kinky. It’s not just something you do; it’s who you are. There are parts of people’s lives that society dictates are wrong and shouldn’t be talked about openly. We live and love outside the box at Rebel Heart, so we welcome conversations that allow our clients to explore who they really are and show up authentically.

We invite you to: 

  • talk about your latest scene or evaluate a scene that went wrong

  • explore the nuances, excitements, and potential hang-ups with your D/s relationship

  • let us help you understand and negotiate your boundaries and the roles you desire

  • explore shame and internalized societal messages and judgments

  • discuss consent and how to recognize the difference between abuse and consensual S/M
