Amber Lavendel

Project Passion Therapy is a fully virtual psychotherapy practice serving Massachusetts and Connecticut. I provide psychotherapy and sex therapy to individuals, couples, and polycules across the sexuality spectrum to address sexual, relational, and life challenges in a safe, empathetic, non-judgemental space. I have experience working with a wide variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, self esteem, trauma, and women’s issues. I work with people navigating challenges with communication, power dynamics, division of domestic labor, parenting, and interpersonal relationships. As a queer, nontraditional, alternative lifestyle affirming therapist my passion lies with supporting others to create, explore and integrate sexuality in their lives. I am committed to providing a safe space for clients to explore their deepest intimacies and create positive change. My own identities inform my work and as a result I place a high importance on being sex work-, poly/CNM-, kink-, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I practice from a pleasure-focused, culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed, and systems lens. I center the intersectional-feminist and social justice perspectives. In sessions, I reflect on the impact of the systems we operate within. These can include the family, community, capitalism, and politics. Despite the harm these systems create I believe all people deserve to feel good and create pleasure in their lives.
