You've spent enough energy explaining yourself.
Unleash Your Authentic Self
Pup Therapist is kink-affirming therapy for the pup community — a space where you don't have to define headspace, moshpits, or why the tail matters before we get to the actual work. Show up as you are. Let's do the work that gets you somewhere real.
Fifteen minutes, no pressure, no glossary required.
What we can work on together
From the specifically pup to the universally human — it all belongs in the room.
Why a therapist who's actually in it
I'm Alex Conway, LMHC — also known in this community as Pup Disco 🪩. I'm not visiting from outside; I've been part of pup space for years, so session one starts at your life, not your glossary.
Clinically, the work draws on positive psychology — what actually makes a life worth living — and EMDR for the heavier stuff: the experiences that never quite got filed away, the ones your body still reacts to even after your mind's moved on. I'm EMDR-trained through an EMDRIA-approved program.
No anthropology-field-trip energy, no translation layer — just a clinician who happens to already speak the language.
Alex Conway, LMHC · Licensed Mental Health Counselor, New YorkAlso known for the talks
Alex speaks on the psychology of pup play, kink-affirming care, and queer joy at conferences, universities, and clinical trainings. If you're organizing something and want a clinician who's actually in the community — not observing it — that's the booking page.
Clear and upfront
