MENTORSHIP for therapists
with Alex Iantaffi, LMFT, Transforming Perspectives LLC
A relational, systemic, politically grounded mentorship container for practitioners who want to deepen their work with integrity. Live + online.
This is not a business coaching program.
This is a space to:
Sharpen your clinical and coaching skills
Expand your political and cultural analysis
Integrate lived experience with professional practice
Feel less alone in complex work
Grow in ways that are accountable, trauma-informed, and relational
Cohorts are intentionally small—4–6 practitioners, to maintain depth and integrity.
Mentorship pathways:
Queering Sex & Relationship Therapy & Coaching
For practitioners who want to center queerness not just as identity, but as a political lens.
This includes work with:
Trans and queer clients
Non-monogamous clients
Kinky clients
Cultural renegades
Those diverging from normative relational scripts
We approach queerness as divergence from compulsory norms around sex, relationships, family, embodiment, and power.
This is not “affirming.” This is actively de-centering normative frameworks.
Somatic Sex & Relationship Therapy and Coaching
For practitioners who want to integrate somatic education, skills, and interventions into their work.
We will explore:
Trauma-informed somatic approaches
Working with individuals and relational systems
Embodiment in couples, polycules, and families
Integrating movement into therapeutic space
Nervous system literacy in relational dynamics
Somatics here is not trend-driven. It is systemic, relational, and accountable.
Centering Disability Justice in Sex & Relationship Practice
For practitioners who want to infuse disability justice principles into every aspect of their work.
This includes:
Access as practice
Capacity-honoring models
Anti-ableist relational frameworks
Interdependence
Political and structural analysis
This is not about accommodation as afterthought.
It is about disability justice as foundation.
Deepening Our Practice
For experienced practitioners seeking relational, reflective, trauma-informed mentorship.
This pathway begins wherever you are right now.
It is designed to:
Strengthen your clinical and ethical discernment
Expand systemic thinking
Support sustainability and longevity
Reduce isolation in advanced practice
This is for those who want depth, not performance.

investment

20% discount offered to pre-formed groups (4–6 participants) enrolling together at the sustainer or supporter rate.
To balance accessibility and sustainability, pricing follows a three-tier model (inspired by Alexis J. Cunningfolk’s green bottle framework):
Community Rate — $650/month For those with less access to financial resources
sustainer Rate — $850/month For those with stable financial access
supporter Rate — $1050/month For those with greater access to wealth & institutional support
