Dorian Head, LPC, ACS, CST
Providing affirming, relational care for clients navigating identity, intimacy, and complex relationship dynamics.
A Culturally Grounded, Clinically Rigorous Approach
Dorian’s clinical work is grounded in a culturally responsive and relational lens, with a focus on supporting marginalized clients. She helps clients move beyond surface-level conceptualizations of stress and toward a deeper understanding of identity, power, and lived experience. Her approach also makes space for stability, pleasure, and joy as important parts of healing. Through this work, clients are supported in developing greater insight, connection, and authenticity in their lives and relationships.
Sex Therapy, Intimacy, and Relationship Dynamics
With advanced training in sex therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Dorian works with clients navigating complex relational and sexual concerns. Her work includes desire discrepancy, communication breakdowns, pain during sex, ruptured intimacy, and nontraditional relationship structures. She creates a space where clients can explore polyamory, same-sex relationships, and pleasure-centered care without shame or avoidance. Her clinical approach emphasizes attachment, relational patterns, and systemic context in order to support deeper, more meaningful change.

Sex Therapy & Intimacy Concerns: Supporting clients navigating desire discrepancy, sexual pain, ruptured intimacy, and pleasure-centered care.

Identity-Affirming, Relational, & Insight-Oriented Supervision
Dorian provides supervision through a culturally responsive and relational lens, helping clinicians move beyond surface-level conceptualizations and toward deeper understanding of identity, power, and lived experience in the therapy room. She supports clinicians in developing the language and clinical insight needed for LGBTQIA+ affirming care, while also building comfort and competence in work related to polyamory, same-sex relationships, and pleasure-centered care. Her supervision emphasizes understanding clients through attachment, relational patterns, and systemic context, while encouraging clinicians to examine their own responses and positionality in the room.
