Welcome to the Open List

Founded in 2008 by Tristan Taormino, The Open List is a list of professionals (therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, relationship and life coaches, doctors, lawyers, mediators, and alternative healthcare providers) who are experienced and knowledgeable about alternative sexuality and lifestyles, open relationships, polyamory, nonmonogamy, swinging, as well as BDSM, kink, leather, LGBTQIA communities, and other sexual minorities. The people on this list submitted their information, and therefore I make no claims about nor do I endorse them.

Disclosure: Professionals pay a small fee to be listed on The Open List. We are committed to economic justice and accessibility. If you are a professional who requires sliding scale pricing or a discounted fee, please email openlist @ openingup.net.
