Therapy where you can skip the explaining part.
You should not have to walk a therapist through poly 101 before getting to the reason you came. Amanda Jablon is a California-licensed LCSW who works with individuals, partners, and polycules practicing every form of ethical non-monogamy.
Jealousy, new partners, structure shifts, opening up for the first time, or deciding whether to. Start with what is actually going on.

Who this work is for
Polyamory, open relationships, swinging, relationship anarchy, solo poly, throuples and polycules, monogamish arrangements, and the versions that don't have a name yet.
Considering opening up
You are thinking about non-monogamy, or one of you is further along than the other. Sort out what you each actually want before the structure decides for you.
Already practicing ENM
Jealousy that will not resolve on its own, a new partner changing the dynamic, agreements that need renegotiating, or a structure shift the whole polycule feels.
Done explaining yourself
You have been to therapy before and spent half of it defending your relationship structure. That part is already handled here, so the real work starts sooner.
“You will not need to justify your relationship structure to me before we get to work.”
Meet Amanda Jablon, LCSW
Amanda is a therapist based in Southern California with more than ten years in private practice. She holds an MSW from USC and draws from Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method in her work.
She does not have a rulebook for what your relationships should look like, and she is suspicious of anyone who does. Sessions focus on what is happening between you and your partners: attachment, jealousy at its root, communication that keeps breaking in the same place, and the decisions non-monogamy actually asks of people.
Sessions run 50 minutes by secure video, available to adults anywhere in California. Half-day and full-day relationship intensives are available for bigger repairs and major decisions.
How the work happens
No rulebook for what your relationships should look like. The approach is built from three evidence-based models, adapted to whoever is in the room.
Internal Family Systems
Jealousy usually has a younger, more protective part of you underneath it. Parts work gets at the root instead of managing the symptom.
Emotionally Focused Therapy
Attachment-based work for the moments that keep repeating: the same fight, the same shutdown, the same distance afterward.
Gottman Method
Practical, research-backed tools for communication, repair, and the agreements that keep a structure honest.

What you can bring to it

Opening up

Agreements & boundaries

The details
Common questions
Do you take insurance?
No. The practice is private pay, with superbills provided on request. Depending on your plan, out-of-network benefits may reimburse part of the fee.
Can all of my partners attend?
Yes. Partner sessions are open to couples, throuples, and polycules, and video sessions make it workable even when partners live in different cities, as long as everyone is in California.
We haven't opened our relationship yet. Is it too early?
No. Working through it before anything changes is often the best timing there is. Nothing about the process assumes you have already decided.
How often are sessions?
Weekly, especially at the start. This is real therapeutic work, and momentum matters more than most people expect.
Do you only see people who are already non-monogamous?
No. Plenty of clients arrive monogamous and curious, or with partners at different points on the question. Individual work around your own relationship to non-monogamy is welcome too.
What happens on the free 15-minute consultation?
