Online resources for finding a kink-aware therapist

The differences between kink aware, kink friendly and kink affirmative therapist, and how to find them

As society becomes more accepting of diverse sexual orientations and lifestyles, the need for specialized mental health professionals is on the rise. For individuals who engage in consensual kink activities, finding therapists who are knowledgeable and non-judgmental can be a challenge.

This is where the concepts of kink aware, kink friendly, and kink affirmative therapy come into play. Each of these terms describes different levels of understanding and acceptance of kink practices by mental health professionals. Kink aware therapists have basic knowledge of kink and BDSM, kink friendly therapists are accepting of kink but may not necessarily have specialized training, and kink affirmative therapists are fully supportive and affirming of kink lifestyles. In this article, we will explore the differences between these types of therapists and provide tips on how to find a therapist who is the right fit for your needs.

What questions to ask to understand if a therapist is kink affirmative or not

If you identify as a part of the kink community, finding a therapist who is knowledgeable and
accepting of your lifestyle can be crucial in ensuring you receive the support you need.
However, not all therapists are created equal when it comes to kink-affirmative care. Asking
the right questions during your initial consultation can help you determine if a therapist is kink-friendly and equipped to meet your unique needs.
