Jami Kerr, PsyD

What should your client know about you?

I specialize in working with OCD, and I am a queer-identified and affirmative, sex-positive therapist experienced in working with a spectrum of sexual orientations, identities, and relationships. I help individuals and couples interested in discussing interests in kink and consensual non-monogamy. If you are experiencing marginalization or shame around aspects of your identity, we’ll work together on how you can gain more freedom to be fully yourself.

What is your approach to therapy?

As a therapist, I provide a compassionate and collaborative space where therapy is tailored to each unique individual and their goals. My approach combines addressing symptoms that impact daily life as well as helping facilitate an in-depth understanding of one’s past/present relationships, including power dynamics with current relationships.

What was your path on becoming a psychologist?

I have worked in a variety of settings, such as a non-profit supporting individuals struggling with their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, a counseling center for adults involved in intimate partner violence or sexual trauma, a youth correctional facility, and an in-patient facility for individuals with severe mental health concerns. Through these experiences, I developed a drive to help people overcome seemingly insurmountable circumstances.
