Hello, I'm Dr. Damiana Chi. I am a certified sexologist, offering kink-centered consultations, specializing in kink-centered counseling and life coaching. What sets me apart from is my doctorate-level training in clinical psychology and 25+ years of immersion and life experience as a professional and lifestyle Dominatrix. 

 

I hold a Ph.D. degree in clinical psychology, M.A. degree in counseling psychology, and a B.A. degree in behavioral studies, with an emphasis in psychology. My educational background, clinical training, and post-graduate studies were rooted in depth psychology (Jungian and archetypal) and is at the heart of my understanding and teachings of BDSM dynamics.

​

I have been a full-time practicing professional and lifestyle Dominatrix for over 25 years, and I am honored to have one of the most highly-regarded reputations in the U.S. Pro Domme community. ​Trained in traditional BDSM techniques, I have incorporated these skills into developing my own style and method of multi-dimensional domination (The Dominatrix Archetypes®) that is very unique and personalized, resulting in an experience that is profound, cathartic, as well as profoundly healing for my submissives.  ​

​​

Although I have been professionally trained in psychoanalytically-based psychotherapy in my academic and clinical psychology programs, I do not currently work in this style of therapy in my work with clients.  I don't believe much benefit comes from analyzing "why" someone is kinky, or into BDSM, or speculate the sources of trauma, or reasons for their kinks. It might be interesting to speculate, but I don't feel that this assists in the process of healing and personal growth. A more healing perspective would be to embark on a path to explore, accept and nurture one's kinksexuality.  

​

I work with clients in an empathic, coaching-style approach in support of a sex-positive kink/BDSM lifestyle, focusing on building a healthy self-image and self-acceptance, and nurturing relationships. In couples sessions, I assist couples to foster their relationship as a couple, as well as two individuals who identify with and relate to one another in their kink dynamic.

 

I enjoy working with individuals, as well as couples, with their kink-related concerns and challenges. Sessions may include incorporating BDSM psychodrama and play scenes to further the goals of the client(s).

​

Along with supporting individuals exploring BDSM privately, I also endeavor to serve the kink community at large, by way of my many years of experience and expertise in integrating the fields of BDSM and psychology, celebrating this unique and profound level of connection in the human experience.
