A Space for Healing, Connection, and Belonging.

Pomegranate is an invitation, a gentle push, and a safe landing for everything sensual, erotic, and human waiting to be discovered in you. Accessible psychotherapy and educational content around all things sexuality, gender, identity, relationships, kink, and communication.

We specialize in:

  • Sexuality and Gender Issues

  • Relationships and Intimacy

  • Sexual Dysfunction

  • Kink & BDSM

  • Non-Monogamy

  • Neurodivergence and Sex

  • Sexual Shame

  • Trauma

At Pomegranate, we want our therapy participants to feel seen, heard, and safe in being exactly who they are as they navigate life’s changes and challenges.

Our Style

  • We center the human experience and your specific goals for therapy. Diagnosis can often be a powerful tool for folks to make sense of their experiences and issues, but it does not define a person holistically. By normalizing the human responses and behaviors to stress, trauma, and relational events, we work towards better mental health outcomes.

  • It can be hard to find a therapy setting where you can be completely yourself without judgement or shame. We move beyond tolerance to let you know that we see you, embrace you, and celebrate you exactly as you are.

  • Inclusive means everyone. We mean that. Too often, mental health care is centered around a narrow demographic (white, cis, able-bodied and neurotypical) that leaves many people outside of that feeling unseen and isolated. We recognize that and want to provide a space where people feel free and safe to be themselves.

  • We believe you are the expert of your own life and experiences, and that you deserve to rewrite the narratives placed upon you by systemic oppression. We acknowledge the ways racism, transphobia, xenophobia, and bigotry impact mental health. To us, an anti-oppressive approach in the therapy room means externalizing oppression by naming oppressive systems or discriminatory interpersonal interactions and holding the institutions responsible to account.

Our Values

Human Connection

We live in an increasingly distant world. While we have greater access to communication than ever, many are left feeling disconnected from themselves and from others. A life without authentic, vulnerable, human connection is often a life without meaning. Therapy is a unique opportunity to foster this experience of connection, but certain frameworks of therapy end up exacerbating the issue and worsen one’s feelings about themself. This can happen when the human nature of therapy is obscured - perhaps through the therapist assuming knowledge they don’t have, or through over-pathologization of issues. Therapy at Pomegranate embodies a genuine human relationship. We do have a unique role and responsibility as therapists, but we are also deeply human, the same as you. There is no “healed” and “wounded”, just two equals bringing individual strengths to work on difficult issues together.

Curiosity

We operate from the assumption that we have much to learn from every person we work with. We do bring expertise into the relationship and have gained knowledge from our training, but that is only part of the collaboration of a therapeutic relationship. A good therapist continues learning and can grow from mistakes throughout their practice. To do this, we must be endlessly curious in the conversations that we have and in expanding our knowledge outside of the therapy room. 

Compassion

Compassion is a practice and a belief system. The practice of compassion involves the choice to look at situations with understanding rather than judgment or shame. It is also the recognition of our shared humanity. We all suffer, struggle, make mistakes, hurt others, etc. However, we also believe that we all can strive to grow from that common humanity. Just as we all suffer, we also all love, search for meaning, and grow.

Our vision and priority is to cultivate an environment where people can discover and embrace the most expansive and liberated version of themselves.
