E.T. Townsend, LMSW, LCSW (They/Them)

Staff Therapist

E.T. Townsend works to create authentic spaces, where folx can feel empowered to explore their identity in the spectrums of gender, sexuality, kink, monogamy, monogamish-ness, and polyamory.

E.T. is educated in sex therapy training. With this background, they have tools to support folx who are experiencing sexual and intimacy challenges—all through a kink-,queer-, and genderqueer-positive lens. They use somatic settling of the body and practical skill-building to work alongside a client for such challenges.

E.T. is a trauma-informed organizational facilitator and coach, supporting teams to see their strengths, discuss social identities and engage in anti-oppression action. With this experience, they use reflective storytelling in therapy to examine the many systems of our lives and their impact on us.

E.T. practices therapy in Michigan and Illinois and offers coaching anywhere.
