Meet Ahri
Founder & CEO
As a polyamorous and kinky person, I know all too well the difficulties of finding a therapist who is competent in navigating the intricacies of non-monogamy and sexual exploration without judgement or bias impeding their work. Beyond Vanilla Therapy was developed out of my own need to find a safe space for my self-discovery journey and bridge the profound gap in the therapy landscape for black, kinky, and non-monogamous folks.
