My name is Ahrielle Jackson, but you can call me Ahri. I'm a licensed clinical social worker who helps folks who struggle with their sexual identity integrate a more sex-positive and pleasure-based self-concept into their life.
My approach
My approach is therapy is person-centered and based on the concept of Play - Pleasure, Learning, Acceptance, and Yearning. I focus on pleasure as a vital aspect of sexual health and well-being. I provide educational resources and support to help clients learn about kink and non-monogamy. I embrace and celebrate diverse sexual identities and practices. I encourage clients to explore and pursue their deepest desires and fantasies in a safe and consensual manner.
My focus
My ideal clients are new to sensuality exploration, motivated to grow, and challenge their current ideology surrounding sex & relationships. Typical issues clients bring to therapy are dating & relationship issues, difficulties with assertive communication inside and outside the bedroom, sexual dysfunctions, lack of intimacy, sexual curiosity, difficulties with boundary setting (both sexual and non-sexual), sexual shame, and trauma.
My communication style
My tone and environment in therapy has been described by previous clients as welcoming, friendly, and direct. Challenging but nurturing, I don't always tell clients what they want to hear but what they need to hear to grow and meet their therapy goals.
