About Moushumi

Moushumi Ghose is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who has built a practice focused on relationship and sexual health since opening her practice in 2007, bringing 23 years of clinical experience to her work. She specializes in sex-positive and kink-positive couples therapy and supports people across a wide range of relationship configurations, including ethical and consensual non-monogamy and polyamory. Her approach emphasizes clearer communication, increased awareness of desires and motivations, and strengthening the connection between mind and body to foster more satisfying relational and sexual lives.

Ghose helps people move beyond shame and guilt and cultivates healthier attitudes about sex, sexuality, gender, and fluidity. Her practice includes extensive experience with LGBTQIA+ identities, transgender, agender, and non-binary people, sex work, sexual and social minorities, BIPOC communities, and the dynamics of kink and alternative sexual cultures. She also addresses trauma related to religion and sex and works with issues such as intimacy fear, low sexual desire, arousal problems, infidelity, and emotional love addictions.

In addition to relationship and sex-focused work, she supports clients with parenting and family concerns, career transitions, grief, stress and anxiety, and coping with life changes. Moushumi Ghose combines sensitivity to identity and culture with a practical focus on communication and healing, helping people and couples create more authentic, connected lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Moushumi Ghose draws on client-centered therapy and mindfulness therapy alongside trauma-focused techniques to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping people explore their values and strengthen communication in relationships and intimate lives. Mindfulness therapy uses present-focused awareness and breathing or grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve comfort with emotions, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, shame, or sexual performance concerns. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the impact of past traumatic experiences, including those related to religion or sexual boundaries, and works gradually to restore safety and agency.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Moushumi Ghose works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time based on what proves helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to work from a comfortable place. These options support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals like Moushumi Ghose to provide consistent therapeutic support across a range of concerns and life circumstances.
