What is Non-Monogamy & Polyamory? Talk to our therapists in Arvada, CO
Consensual non-monogamy and polyamory involve maintaining intimate relationships with multiple partners, with everyone’s informed consent. These dynamic and varied relationship styles create many possibilities for defining and experiencing intimate connections. While monogamy suits many, it’s not ideal for all. Non-monogamous relationships can foster personal growth, deeper bonds, and a richer sense of community, love, and sexual fulfillment. If you and your partners are looking for guidance in creating more fruitful and meaningful polyamorous relationships, then contact our Arvada, CO office.
