WELCOME TO NONMONOGAMY ACADEMY
We are grateful to Robin Christopher for allowing us to use their wonderful polyamory flag that we based our logo and color scheme off of.
ABOUT US
We understand that nonmonogamy can be a complex and often misunderstood concept. That's why we created Nonmonogamy Academy - to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals and couples to learn and grow together. Join us on this journey and discover the endless possibilities of nonmonogamous relationships.
Nonmonogamy Academy was formed when two mental health counselors and sex therapists (us) realized that many of our clients were coming in with the same questions and struggles, about "basic" nonmonogamy concepts, struggles, and tripping hazards. We decided to create a space where people could learn those basics (which are actually rather complicated) to be able to spend time in therapy sessions working through more challenging issues, feelings, and situations that arise. We view ourselves as guides along your journey, helping you understand what the path ahead might hold, and assisting you in avoiding falling off that cliff into the bog of eternal stench.
