Polyamorous and Open Relationships

Gemma Baumer (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A. in Counseling

There is no right way to be in relationship. We may be balancing the tension between a desire for freedom, with a craving for novelty. I believe we can feel most empowered and connected to our deepest selves and can define relationship for ourselves, whatever those configurations and boundaries may look like. There is no solution but the one that is best for you. I love working with intimate partners in defining and exploring what relationship means to them and supporting their choices.

Whether you are polyamorous, ENM, open, or monogamous, I’m interested in helping support you in navigating tough conversations, building a solid foundation together, and getting your relational needs met.

I want to support you in being your full, authentic self while being in relationship in a way that aligns with who you are and what you need.

Oh snap. Welcome to the world of possibility and also crazy emotions! But for real....I like to start with what needs to be unlearned and what might be holding you back individually before jumping into the realm of expectations/boundaries/etc. Again - I do not claim to be an expert...and I am also VERY willing to navigate areas that promote honesty, connection, authenticity, and trust.

We will unpack your emotional responses to this experience in order to create a deeper connection between you are your partner(s).

Relationships are not one-size-fits-all and the ones you design yourself can be potentially the most fulfilling.

Jamie Krahulec (she/they)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC #C8857

I have noticed that the biggest reason for relationship distress seems to come from communication and this is not unique to a type of relationship. I can help you learn how to find meaning in the empty spaces. I believe we all have capacity in our hearts to love more than one person and as long as the partnership is consensual then there is no reason why multiple relationships should be an issue for anyone not interested.

Amanda Ball (she/her)

Exploring your relationship values can help you ground into what you really want and need, and create the relationship orientation that is right for you.
