Meet Amy
Amy Bouvin, LCSW, CST
(Pronouns: She/Her)
Hi, I’m Amy. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist. I specialize in sexual and relational concerns, and work with individuals, couples (and other relationship structures), and adolescents exploring sexuality, identity, intimacy, and connection.
At the heart of my work is a belief in your innate capacity to grow, to heal, and to come into deeper relationship with yourself and others.
I also hold an ongoing awareness of how my own identities - as a white, queer, cisgender woman - shape the way I see and move through the world, including how they intersect with the identities and lived experiences of my clients. My clinical lens is shaped by years working in social services with youth and families navigating systemic stressors rooted in racism and oppression. That work continues to inform how I listen, how I question, and how I take responsibility for the ways I’ve been shaped by dominant systems and narratives.
I aim to create a space that not only affirms who you are, but also honors the broader context in which you live - how your identities intersect with the world, and how that impacts your experience of self, safety, and connection.
My Approach
I view therapy as a shared, evolving process - one grounded in curiosity, honesty, and compassion.
As both a clinician and a human navigating my own growth, I meet you as a fellow traveler. Together, we explore the patterns that have formed through your life experiences - especially those shaped by socialization, relationships, and cultural narratives around sex, identity, and worth.
This work often includes tending to the impact of trauma - whether sexual, relational, attachment-based, or complex trauma - and understanding how those experiences may still be shaping your body, your relationships, and your sense of self. We move at a pace that honors your nervous system while also supporting meaningful growth and change.
My work focuses on attachment, intimacy, and sexuality - areas that often carry both deep longing and deep protection. We work to gently untangle what may be blocking access to connection, while strengthening your capacity for self-compassion, emotional range, and authentic expression.
My style is warm, engaged, and relational - but also direct. I will meet you with care and respect, and I will also invite you into honesty, accountability, and deeper self-awareness. I believe meaningful change happens when we are willing to show up fully to ourselves, and I hold that intention for both my clients and myself within this work. Humor, humanity, and realness are always welcome here.
I am continually inspired by the resilience of the people I work with, and it is a privilege to walk alongside you in this process.
Meet Kerry
Kerry Paradis, AMFT
(Pronouns: She/Her)
Hi! I’m Kerry, and I work with individuals, couples, and folks in diverse relationship structures, to support them through a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ineffective relational patterns, interpersonal stress, and challenges with intimacy.
My hope is that my trauma-informed, systems-aware, genuine, collaborative, and grounded approach creates a space where you feel emotionally safe, seen, and supported.
My therapeutic stance is sex-positive and kink-affirming, and I am deeply committed to affirming and supporting gender, sexual, relationship, and cultural diversity. I show up for my clients with endless curiosity, compassion, and respect for their unique lived experience.
It is important that I help foster a trusted therapeutic relationship with you so that I may safely guide you toward deepening self-understanding and self-compassion, strengthening relationships, and making choices that best serve you and the life you want to create.
