About Moushumi Ghose
Moushumi Ghose is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who has focused her practice on couples and individual work since opening her practice in 2007. She brings a kink-positive and sex-positive approach to couples therapy, offering specialized support for ethical and consensual non-monogamy while affirming and empowering relationships of every configuration and sexual expression.
Her work centers on strengthening communication, increasing awareness of desires and motivating forces, and cultivating a clearer connection between mind and body. She helps people dismantle shame and guilt, and supports the development of healthier, more accepting attitudes about sex, sexuality, gender, and fluidity. Her clinical experience includes extensive work with polyamory, consensual non-monogamy, kink, LGBTQIA+ communities, sex work, dating concerns, creative expression, sexual and social minorities, gender-related issues, and BIPOC clients.
Moushumi also has substantial experience addressing trauma connected to religion and sexuality. She views psychological and relational healing as interdependent - relationships cannot be fully healed without attention to the self, and bodily experience is often tied to psychological states. Areas she commonly supports include polyamory and consensual non-monogamy, sex therapy and relationship concerns, transgender, agender, and non-binary identities, infidelity and sexual trauma, fears about intimacy, low desire and arousal difficulties, anxiety or guilt around sex, uncertainty about sexual orientation or gender, emotional love addictions, career transitions, and navigating breakups.
