Heather Woodford, LCSW, Certified Sex Educator
A Sacramento area native, I earned my BA and MSW at Sacramento State University. I am a registered associate social worker and a certified sex educator. I am passionate about the non monogamous, sexually open, and LGBTQ+ communities. I work as a trainer and sex educator at the organization I co-founded, Sex Positive Sacramento. In my counseling, I use primarily narrative therapy, along with components of mindfulness.
I geek out on working with my colleagues - mental health & social services professionals - on how to improve your work with non-monogamous clients! If you're a helping professional, you already know just how important therapeutic alliance is. Let me help you to strengthen that alliance with your non-monogamous clients, so you can do the crucial work you're already doing even better with the clients who trust you!
