Jealousy Is Not the Enemy of Non-Monogamy: Befriending Jealousy and Deepening Intimacy || By Taylor Arroganté-Reyes, LPCC
When I work with relationships that are exploring non-monogamy for the first time, how to manage jealousy is often one of the first questions couples ask.

It’s Not Your Job to Save the Whales || By Laura Zwisler, LPC
Times are tough. Pick your issue: politics, the environment, inequity, the economy. It’s hard to sleep through the night.

We all need this kind of…
Where Do We Go From Here?: Moving Through Grief to Cultivate our Aliveness || By Taylor Arroganté-Reyes, LPCC
When I sat down to write this, I knew I wanted to talk about the psychological work that’s swirling around me as a therapist. More specifically, the work around me as a therapist in 2026 in the United States who works with folks at an intersection of many forms of marginalization. My fingers hovered over…
