About Moushumi

Moushumi Ghose is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has focused her private practice on relationship and sexual health since opening her practice in 2007. She offers kink-positive and sex-positive couples therapy and brings extensive experience with ethical and consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, and other alternative relationship structures. Her work supports partners across a range of formats and sexual identities, helping people clarify desires, deepen mind-body connection, and build stronger communication patterns.

She addresses shame, guilt, and anxiety around sexuality and gender while supporting exploration of sexual orientation, gender fluidity, and nontraditional sex lives. Moushumi has substantial experience with trauma related to religion and sex and works with issues including infidelity, fear of intimacy, low desire, arousal difficulties, and recovery from sexual trauma. Her practice also includes support for LGBTQ issues, sex work concerns, sexual and social minorities, and BIPOC clients.

Moushumi integrates attention to family and attachment patterns when working with couples and individuals, acknowledging how early relationships shape present dynamics. She also assists with broader life concerns such as career changes, grief, parenting challenges, and coping with major life transitions. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is trained to work with individuals, couples, and families - she strives to create practical, respectful paths toward healthier relationships and greater personal clarity.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist mirrors understanding. This approach helps people explore their values, relationships, and personal goals without feeling pushed toward any particular outcome. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention to present-moment experience and bodily signals, which can reduce reactivity and help with stress, anxiety, and sexual or relational shame. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing the impacts of traumatic experiences and developing coping skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used when past hurts shape current intimacy and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Moushumi works with each person or couple to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are treated as active partners in deciding what feels most useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet clients where they are. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone conversations, and shorter exchanges are available via live chat or text-based messaging for check-ins and skill practice. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules, geographical constraints, and varying levels of emotional readiness.
