Our approach - kink, poly & queer-affirming
-
It means you don't have to translate your life to be cared for. We work fluently with kink, BDSM, polyamory, open relationships, queer and trans identity, and the full spectrum of Black queer experience. You won't be pathologized for how you love, what you want, or how you play.
-
Yes. You don't need a label or a roadmap to work with us. Curiosity is enough.
-
Black queer folks are who this practice is built for and centered around. Allied folks whose lives align with our values are welcome to reach out, and we'll be honest if we're not the right fit.
-
Yes. Ahri's practice is rooted in liberation psychology, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed care - including for clients with histories of sexual, racial, and religious trauma.
