Hi there, I'm Ahrielle!
I’m Ahri Jackson, LCSW, and founder of Beyond Vanilla Therapy. I create affirming spaces for Black and Queer folks, kinky folks, and those exploring non-monogamy to release shame and step into pleasure, authenticity, and connection - blending clinical care with liberation, community, and safety.
My focus
Our sessions are designed to leave you with both insight and practical strategies. You can expect to feel seen, validated, and equipped with tools that support your mental health, your relationships, and your pleasure. My goal is for you to walk away not just coping but thriving, with more confidence to claim the life and connections you deserve.
My approach
I approach therapy as a collaborative, judgment-free zone where curiosity leads the way. Together, we’ll unpack the stories and beliefs holding you back while exploring tools that help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected. I pull from trauma-informed, sex-positive, and relational frameworks that center your lived experience.
