About Ethan DeFord

Hi! I am Ethan DeFord (any/all), a Relationship & Family Therapist Intern, Licensed Massage Therapist, Mindfulness Coach, Tai Chi Teacher, and Professional Engineer. Each of these elements contributes to a unique perspective that allows me to help people relate in new ways.

I believe that relationship is the essence of all life, health, and well-being. I love helping people connect with themselves and each other in curious, courageous, and compassionate ways. I like to create a space with my clients where they can show up fully as themselves and be seen and accepted. I think that in order to work through the patterns we get stuck in, we need to be challenged to see things differently… and this challenge can only come from someone who we trust and who we firmly believe sees our most genuine self. I do not take the process of building trust lightly, and I hold all trust given as sacred.

I have special skills and experience in non-traditional relating styles (CNM/poly/lifestyle/kink) and love working with the LGBTQ+ community. Polycules welcome!”
