Abbey Pelosi

Hello! I am a sex-positive, poly and kink friendly-affirmative counselor, specializing in relationships and an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community in Austin, Texas.  I am passionate about challenging societal norms around mental health and helping individuals navigate through obstacles within relationships. I provide a genuine, affirming space for you to be just as you are, helping reconnect you with your own curiosity, values and desires. I offer my deep respect and support, collaborating with you on this path of exploration, healing and growth.

Sexual health and relationship therapy: the goal is to help support you to understand your sexuality in order to create connection, pleasure, and the relationships you desire. My practice is sex positive (where sexuality is embraced and explored with positivity, education, and consent), trauma informed (where understand prevalence/impact of trauma and create environment that promotes recovery), and inclusive to all. If you identify or are curious about kink, BDSM lifestyle, open relationships, poly, poly with children, living in the lifestyle (swinging), sex worker, LGBTQIA+, or gender expansive you are welcome here.

My clients and their families have described me as compassionate, collaborative, deeply curious, creative, and a big goofball when appropriate. Therapy is hard work- humor can be very powerful in helping us cope with vulnerability and distress, and I have seen laughter be a beautiful part of the therapeutic process. I enjoy helping others find balance with relationships and parenting. It would be an honor to work towards building more joy, authenticity and mastery in your life.
