Poly-Friendly Therapy in Massachusetts

The Pomegranate Institute specializes in providing therapy to people in non-traditional relationship structures like:

• Open relationships
• Platonic life partnerships
• Ethical non-monogamy
• Consensual non-monogamy
• Polyamory
• Relationship anarchy
• Therapy involving your polycule or metamours

Your relationship may not be the reason you’re seeking therapy, but it’s important to have a therapist who is knowledgeable and affirming of these structures, standing with you in solidarity and community. You deserve a therapist who will:

• Explicitly support polyamory and see it as a valid, ethical relationship model for consenting adults.
• Assist you in navigating experiences like jealousy, saturation, “coming out”, compersion, boundary setting, time management, community dynamics and resource allocation while understanding that these are normal human experiences and struggling with them doesn’t make you “bad” at polyamory. 
• Frame polyamory as offering incredible opportunities for healing, growth, and empowerment.
• Recognize the impact of having a marginalized (polyamorous) identity and experiences with discrimination on your safety and well-being.
• Remember that polyamory has unique challenges without assuming it's the cause of your problems.
• Be aware that polyamory may offer opportunities to explore uncharted areas of your sexuality, gender, expression, and interests, which can be both wonderful and intense.
