where mental health meets sexual liberation

OUR VALUES

liberation

Your desires don’t need permission. We help you break free from shame and outdated scripts, embracing kink and non-monogamy on your terms.

Pleasure isn’t a luxury—it’s your right. Whether it’s intimacy, self-exploration, or deep connection, we help you move beyond vanilla and into the full experience of desire.

Pleasure

Exploring kink and non-monogamy shouldn’t feel isolating. Here, you’ll find community, trust, and a space to be seen, understood, and celebrated.

  • Founder/CEO

    As a Licensed Clincial Social Worker & Sex Therapist, my work focuses on helping black people release shame, explore kink and non-monogamy safely, and embrace their sexuality with curiosity, consent, and confidence. 

    My brand, Beyond Vanilla Therapy, creates educational and therapeutic spaces for deep self-exploration through interactive workshops, group therapy, and curated community event series.

    Beyond Vanilla Therapy is the go-to space for Black singles, couples, and professionals new to kink and non-monogamy who feel tangled in shame, confusion, and outdated beliefs—craving a safe, affirming, and liberating space to unlearn, explore, and step boldly into pleasure.


  • Social Work Intern

    Hi, I’m Twila. I help individuals and couples feel more connected to their bodies, their desires, and each other. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to talk about things like communication, intimacy, performance anxiety, identity, and what it means to feel good—emotionally and physically.

    My approach is body-based and trauma-informed, which means we pay attention to how your body holds stress, pleasure, and everything in between. I’m supervised by a Ahri and especially support folks working through sexual shame, past trauma, and struggles with intimacy or desire.

    Whether you're healing, exploring, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to support your journey with care and curiosity.
