Book a Peer-Support Session

Peer Support Sessions are 1-on-1 educational conversations. They are confidential, compassionate, and judgment-free. We can discuss topics like sexuality, queerness, relationships, ethical non-monogamy, etc.

Guidelines:
Text session: you have a quick question, want to see what peer-session is about, or need a written form of communication.
30-minute call: you have one specific question/topic you want to address.
60-minute call: you need someone to talk to in general or have broad questions about sex, love, ENM.
Couple phone call: you need a moderated, neutral conversation with your pals.

 

HOW DOES PEER-SUPPORT WORK?

Peer-support sessions are confidential, low-cost, low-commitment, educational conversations. Peer-support is NOT therapy. I am merely here as a friend and educator. You lead the way! I will provide a safe space for you to discuss your concerns, questions, or experiences. You can ask me whatever you want. I don’t judge. I am here to listen and help. I will provide appropriate resources for you to continue your journey. Our conversations will remain confidential. There will be times when I don’t have answers for you. I will follow up with you if I need to do additional research to provide you with the best quality support.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Fill out the form above, and tell me roughly what you would like to discuss. If you don’t have anything in mind and just want to chat, that’s ok too! I will follow up with you to confirm the exact time and date we can chat. At that time, I will call you from a 503 area code. I’ll be using headphones during our calls so anything you say will remain between us.

If this is our first session together, we will spend a few minutes introducing ourselves and telling you more about what to expect during our session. The rest of the time is yours. You lead the way! If you want to ask me questions, you’re welcome to. If you want to tell me about your experiences, you’re welcome to. If you just need someone to chat with about your day, you’re welcome to. The great thing about peer-support is that I am here FOR YOU. Whatever that means to you.

At the conclusion of our time, I will text you links to any resources I mentioned to help further your education. I am happy to chat whenever you want, but again, I am not a therapist so you decide how often you need sessions. I do NOT provide treatment plans.

I look forward to chatting with you!

RULES AND SUGGESTIONS

  1. We may discuss sexuality but this is NOT a phone-sex line. Sexually aggressive advances will NOT be tolerated. We will end our session and you will be charged an additional $80 fee for violating this boundary.

  2. This is a safe space and I will respect your experiences. Peer mentorship works best if you do the same.

  3. I will be calling from a personal number. You may NOT call me outside of our agreed sessions. If you want to continue talking, please let me know and I would be happy to set up additional time.

  4. This is a collaborative conversation. I am not here to fix your problems and I am not a therapist. Please think of me as a friend or teacher who thinks and talks about sex a lot! We’re having a casual conversation. There are no right or wrong answers.

  5. You’re welcome to ask me any questions as we go along. I will happily provide some anecdotes, insights, or resources.

  6. I will be asking you personal questions. If there’s anything you don’t want to talk about, please let me know. I promise I won’t be offended. We don’t have to talk about anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Just ask me to redirect the conversation.

  7. I am a stranger. You know your relationships and life better than I do. If I make any suggestion that doesn’t apply to your life, let me know! I am not here to tell you what to do. This is a brainstorming session. I want to help you find suggestions that are practical for you. I welcome your feedback as we go along.

  8. When you’re referring to your pals, please let me know: their name (or what you want us to call them), how you describe your relationship (pal, partner, bf, gf, wife, husband, spouse, love, etc.), and their pronouns so I know how to talk about them too!

  9. Feel free to provide me with any feedback after our call. I always want to know ways that I can better support you and your needs.
