Sierra Coleman is a Licensed Graduate Marriage and Family Therapist and certifed Sexoloigst. Sierra practices at The Haven Center for Therapy in Maryland, an LGBTQIA+ allied, sex positive, kink-friendly practice, additionally helping couples navigate open relationships (ENM), polyamory, and non-traditional relationships.

She believes that problems are interwoven parts of the whole person (mind, body, environment, and the interpersonal) and see counseling as a collaborative process to empower her clients. She enjoys working with couples and individuals. As a Couples and Family Therapist, her job is to help you decode your relationship, with yourself and one another.
