Sex-positive and Trauma-informed therapist

Filippo M. Forni, Ph.D., CST, LMFT, is a highly experienced sex and couples therapist serving clients in both Los Angeles and Miami. He is passionate about helping individuals and partners navigate relationship challenges, life transitions, and concerns related to sexual health and well-being. As a sex-positive and trauma-informed therapist, Dr. Forni understands that these issues can stem from a wide range of experiences. Past trauma, emotional insecurity, sexual dysfunction, identity exploration, or addiction can impact your relationship.

Couples and Sex Therapy for Deeper Connection and Fulfillment

Dr. Forni’s approach to therapy goes beyond surface-level solutions. As a couples and AASECT-certified sex therapist, he focuses on helping individuals and partners strengthen emotional intimacy, improve communication, and enhance sexual satisfaction. Whether you’re seeking support for relationship issues, sexual concerns, or deeper emotional connection, Dr. Forni provides a warm, inclusive space where clients feel safe to explore their desires, challenges, and relationship dynamics with honesty and confidence.

Dr. Forni specializes in working with individuals and couples who are struggling with communication and intimacy—especially when it comes to difficulty talking about sex, expressing needs and boundaries, or feeling emotionally disconnected from a partner. He helps clients navigate conflict around sexual issues with clarity and compassion, creating a space where healing and reconnection are possible.

Therapy for Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM) and Polyamory

A big part of Dr. Forni’s work is helping people in non-monogamy and polyamory-affirming therapy. This includes open relationships, swinging, and other relationship styles that go beyond traditional monogamy.

He offers a safe space where clients can talk honestly without fear of judgment. Whether you’re new to non-monogamy or have years of experience, Dr. Forni supports you with respect and care.

These relationships can be deeply fulfilling, but they can also bring up challenges. Feelings like jealousy, insecurity, or confusion are common—and okay to talk about. Dr. Forni helps people work through these feelings while staying true to their values.

He works with individuals, couples, and partners to build trust, improve communication, and set clear, respectful boundaries. Together, you can strengthen your agreements and make sure everyone feels heard and valued.

Non-monogamy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Dr. Forni helps clients explore what works best for them, offering guidance that’s based on consent, clarity, and connection.

If you’re exploring alternative relationship styles—or simply want to feel more grounded in your current one—Dr. Forni is here to support your journey, without judgment.

Sex Therapy for Kinky Individuals and Couples

Exploring kink or other non-traditional sexual interests can feel scary or overwhelming. You may worry about being judged, misunderstood, or rejected. It’s normal to have questions or feel unsure when your desires don’t fit into what others see as “normal.”

Dr. Forni offers a warm, non-judgmental space where you can talk honestly. He helps individuals and couples move past shame, process internalized messages, and understand what feels right for them. You don’t need to have all the answers—just a willingness to explore.

Many people carry beliefs from childhood or culture that make them feel guilty about what they want. Dr. Forni helps unpack those messages and replace them with understanding, trust, and respect.

For couples, trying something new—like kink or open communication around fantasies—can be exciting but also bring up fears. Dr. Forni supports partners as they set clear boundaries, build safety, and deepen trust.

Everything starts with consent, honesty, and mutual respect. Whether you’re new to kink or already practicing, Dr. Forni helps you feel safe in your body, your choices, and your relationships.

No pressure. No shame. Just real support for real people exploring who they are—sexually and emotionally.
