Kink Positive Therapy

I am a psychodynamic therapist in Metro Detroit specializing in working with individuals and couples seeking therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, relationship concerns, and personal growth.

Majica Phillips is a creative visionary who’s passions led her to explore art, music, and dance as a therapeutic vehicle. She works with couples and individuals who have a desire to have deeper connections, intimacy, and communication with their loved ones. “Sex Positivity isn’t about liking sex, liking kinky sex, having a lot of sex, or having a lot of partners.  Sex positivity is about respecting other people, whether their sexual choices are the same as yours.  It’s about not judging people because of their sexual desires, practices or histories.  It’s about celebrating people’s courage in creating the sex lives that work for them in the face of cultural myths, shame, misinformation, and trauma that are used to control us. Sex-positivity is the belief that the only valid measure of a sexual act is the consent, pleasure, and well-being of the people who do it or are affected by it.  Anything else is your own projection.” — Charlie Glickman, Ph.D

At TheraBee you will find acceptance, compassion, and non-judgement. While I treat a large variety of people, I specialize in working with those marginalized for reasons around their sexuality and/or (non)religion. Communities served include LGBQ, Gender minorities (including Trans), Poly, Kink, and Nontheist.

Galen Fous MTP: Sex/Kink-Positive Therapist, Author, Educator & Sex Researcher Galen works with clients within a Transpersonal framework that helps individuals and couples move through shame, fear and trauma towards honest, embodied and confident expression of their authentic desires.

He is on the faculty of Sexology University, and the Modern Sex-Therapy Institute where he offers non and CE approved classes for therapists, on Kink-positive psychology. His research is focused on understanding and mapping the psychological dynamics of sexual desire including Kink, Fetish and D/s-BDSM sexuality. He has a Masters in Transpersonal Psychology from Institute of Transpersonal Psychology An important component of his research into the nature of Fetishsexual and Kink desire is the development of the Discover Your Personal Erotic Myth Survey.  ( http://galenfous.com/pem ) This ground-breaking research survey has over 4000 participants so far. It is the first Kink-focused study that begins to document the archetypal, symbolic, mythic aspects of Kink-oriented individuals by mapping the specifics of their sexual desires.
