Surrogate Partner Collective

Love. Intimacy. Connection.

At the Surrogate Partner Collective, we believe everyone is worthy of love and connection and that learning how to relate to others in a healthy way is the most valuable and important skill one can have. That's why we're working to increase awareness and acceptance of Surrogate Partner Therapy, and to bring this powerful healing modality to the people who need it most. Surrogate Partner Therapy helps people heal by creating an environment which is simultaneously supportive and lifelike. It does so by combining verbal therapy with opportunities for experiential learning and embodied practices. This facilitates healing and growth, not just intellectually, but at the level of the body and nervous system as well.

​

​Surrogate Partner Therapy is specifically constructed to give a client opportunities for growth with relationships, communication, consent, touch, nudity, body image, and physical and emotional intimacy, while simultaneously having the support of their therapist all through the process. With the involvement of these two professionals with distinct roles, we create the opportunity to do genuine work with intimacy, sexuality and relationships, while still maintaining checks and balances and client protections.
