Melanie Collins

I work with individuals and partners exploring or practicing ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, and alternative relationship structures. Whether you’re navigating boundaries, communication, jealousy, or trust, I offer a nonjudgmental, kink-aware space to help you build relationships that are consensual, honest, and aligned with your values.

I provide sex-positive therapy for individuals and couples navigating desire, intimacy, and sexual identity. Whether you’re experiencing mismatched desire, shame, or disconnection, we’ll explore what’s underneath without judgment. I’m kink- and BDSM-informed and support clients in building fulfilling, consensual, and authentic sexual relationships.

Without mindfulness, it's difficult to pinpoint what our triggers are. Or more precisely, WHY they are. Mindfulness teaches us to be present int he moment, and to be aware of physical and emotional sensations. To either be more present or to be able to detach and observe them so that we can learn to manage them.

I offer sex-positive, inclusive sex therapy for individuals and couples navigating desire, intimacy, and identity. This includes support around mismatched desire, shame, communication, and exploration of kink, BDSM, and consensual non-monogamy. My approach is direct, nonjudgmental, and focused on helping you build a sexual relationship that feels authentic, safe, and fulfilling.

I help clients heal from trauma, PTSD, and toxic relationship patterns in a way that builds clarity, not shame. Using a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach, we’ll gently untangle survival responses and reconnect you with a sense of safety, agency, and self-trust—so you can move forward without feeling stuck in the past.

Mindfulness-based therapy helps you slow down and notice your thoughts, emotions, and body without judgment. This awareness creates space to respond more intentionally rather than react automatically. I use mindfulness to support emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and help you feel more grounded, present, and connected in your daily life and relationships.

My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, recognizing how past experiences shape current patterns in relationships, identity, and emotional responses. Together, we’ll gently untangle survival strategies, reduce shame, and build a stronger sense of safety, agency, and self-trust so you can move forward with more clarity and choice.
