Talk with Maya Therapy
Maya Attia, LMFT #139693
You don't have to explain the basics.
You're just tired of half explaining yourself to therapists who pathologize what you came in to celebrate.
Maybe a scene went sideways and you're carrying emotional fallout no one knows how to help you process. Or you've been telling yourself the shame should be gone by now, but it keeps showing up. You may be navigating a new dynamic and watching the communication break in the same places it always does. Or trying to figure out how to integrate what you want into a life that's started to feel too small for it.
The hiding is wearing you down and that needs to change. Not the deliciousness of being dominated, submitting or taken apart, but the shame you've carried for years.
You're ready to
-
Process the shame that's been blocking you from showing up fully in scenes, dynamics, and conversations
-
Build clear, confident communication around desires, needs, limits, and aftercare so the hard talks stop derailing your connections
-
Repair after ruptures (scene fallout, miscommunication, drop, betrayal) so they don't calcify into permanent damage
HOW IT WORKS
Your kink practice isn't something we work around, it's something we work with.
You're not here to figure out your kink. You're here for a therapist who can take what already works and aim it where your life is hard.
Negotiation skills. You know how to name a want, set a hard limit, and ask for what you need before anything starts. We take that fluency and aim it at the talks you keep avoiding. The thing you've needed to say to your partner for a year.
Protocols that hold you up. Your dynamic is already structure. We aim it at the places you're shaky. The partner who texts "it's time" so your meds stop slipping. The daily check-in that anchors a week that would otherwise fall apart.
Aftercare for the drops that don't come from a scene. You tend each other after play. But the crash after a hard week, a loss, a fight, nobody builds aftercare for that.
Letting go past the scene. Surrender comes easy when you've negotiated it. Everywhere else, you're white-knuckling. We find the parts of you that never learned it was safe to loosen the grip, and we start there.
We build all of it using IFS, EFT, and trauma informed care and consent based practices.
