Love Psychotherapy

What the service is

Love Psychotherapy is a solo telehealth practice run by Mx. Love C. Dialogos, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and AAMFT Clinical Fellow & Approved Supervisor. The practice is exclusively online, serving clients across 13 states: Wisconsin, Illinois, New York, Texas, Florida, Arizona, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, New Mexico, Hawaii, Idaho, and Alaska. The founder is neurodivergent themselves, identifying as having autism and possible ADHD, and brings explicit expertise in working with neurodivergent individuals, particularly autistic adults and ADHDers.

The practice is LGBTQ+-affirming, sex-positive, and held by someone who is gender-expansive, queer, and intersex. Mx. Love is also a Buddhist chaplain and 24-year practitioner of Zen Buddhism in the Vietnamese tradition (Plum Village), which shapes the clinical approach.

What you actually get

All sessions are via HIPAA-compliant telehealth across the 13 licensed states. There is no in-person option. Mx. Love's clinical approach is humanistic and person-centered, grounded in Buddhist psychology as a practical, evidence-informed lens for understanding your own mind. The founder describes the approach as intentionally different from traditional Western psychotherapy. The practice draws primarily from Buddhist psychology and Accelerated Experiential Psychotherapy, integrated with biological, psychological, neurological, sociological, anthropological, historical, and cultural context that shapes how you experience your life.

Rather than offering a standard intake consultation, the practice provides a recorded video introduction on the website where you can hear directly from Mx. Love about their approach and who they are. This asynchronous option avoids the typical consultation call but gives you substantive information about what to expect. You can then reach out to schedule a session if the approach resonates.

Mx. Love describes their clinical style as direct and unfiltered, a consequence of autism. The founder says "I don't talk around things. I don't use nuances. I'm very direct. So, you're paying me for what I see and that's going to be right away. I want you to expect to be uncomfortable right away, in exchange for the idea of wellness coming faster than maybe you're used to." This is framed as a feature, not a bug, and positions therapy as intensive and accelerated rather than extended and gentle.

The practice draws on about 15 to 20 clinical psychotherapy modalities, but predominantly uses Buddhist psychology, mindfulness, and somatics. The founder emphasizes that humans are designed for experiences to really feel things rather than concepts or skills alone. So while the practice may offer skills or techniques, they are paired with experiences that help you sync those skills and test whether they are useful for you. The provider encourages clients to "cannibalize" whatever is given to them, if you hate a technique or approach, that information is useful too and says something about who you are and what you need.

The practice explicitly specializes in neurodivergent therapy, including ADHD Therapy, Autism Therapy, and AuDHD Therapy for people who are both autistic and ADHD. Self-assessments are available for people questioning whether they might be neurodivergent. The founder notes that while no clinical psychotherapy has been validated specifically on the neurodivergent mind, most people who end up at Love Psychotherapy are either neurodivergent or suspect they are, or have had endless long therapeutic relationships that did not lead where they wanted.

The practice also offers support for gender and LGBTQ+ issues, and describes itself as sex-positive. Mx. Love is a member of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSFREEDOM), and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which indicates deep professional engagement with LGBTQ+ and sexuality-related clinical work.

What Mx. Love brings to the work

The founder is transparent about lived experience. Mx. Love writes that "some of it is clinical training. Some of it is lived experience including my own history of surviving physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, and my own survival of a suicide attempt. I don't lead with these things, but I don't hide them either, because I think it matters that the person helping you through the worst chapters of your life has walked through some of their own."

The specific intersection of identities Mx. Love holds, neurodivergent, disabled, queer, gender-expansive, intersex, womxn-owned, autistic-owned, shapes the clinical lens. The founder emphasizes that "each deviance from the predominant power structure of cisgender, white, female or male, and heterosexual begets a loss in autonomy, options, and ultimately choice. Every layer we add results in a tighter squeeze, societally speaking." This framing suggests the practice is built for people holding multiple marginalized identities and understands that combination as more than the sum of its parts.

Google reviews rate the practice at 5.0 stars with 10 reviews. One client wrote, "I've felt comfortable and understood with Love, yet challenged to work on assignments. I have my eccentricities that I've always felt uncomfortable talking about, and I feel relieved that I can talk openly and feel validated, welcomed, and unjudged. Learning I'm autistic was a shock, and I am immensely grateful my initial therapist sent me their way. She has helped me grieve who I thought I was, and figure out who I really am." Another wrote, "If you have struggled to find an affirming and compassionate therapist as someone who holds an oppressed or marginalized identity this is the place for you."

What the pages do not say

Pricing is not published. Session length, frequency, and costs are not spelled out on the captured pages. Wait times for appointments are not mentioned. The specific focus areas beyond what is named (ADHD, autism, gender/LGBTQ+, neurodiversity, sex-positive work) are not detailed. Whether Mx. Love takes insurance or works on a private pay only basis is not stated.

Who it fits and who it does not

This practice is an excellent fit if you are neurodivergent, especially autistic or ADHD, and want a therapist who is neurodivergent themselves and understands that lived experience. It is ideal if you hold multiple marginalized identities and have felt misunderstood by therapists trained in frameworks that do not account for the intersection of being queer, trans, gender-nonconforming, disabled, or neurodivergent. If you prefer direct, no-nonsense feedback over gentle reflection, and if you are motivated by the possibility of faster transformation, the explicitly accelerated style is a match.

It also works if you are LGBTQ+ and want to work with someone who is embedded in LGBTQ+ professional organizations and has specialized training in sexuality and sex-positive care. The Buddhist psychology foundation appeals to people interested in contemplative approaches, mindfulness, and somatics alongside Western psychology.

The practice does not fit if you need or prefer in-person therapy. It also does not fit if you live outside the 13 licensed states. If you want a gentler, more gradual therapeutic pace, or if you are uncomfortable with direct feedback, the stated clinical style is not a match. If you require psychiatric services or medication management, this therapy-only practice cannot provide that. If you prefer a large group practice where you can easily switch providers, or if you want to vet detailed therapist credentials before scheduling, you may want to research further before committing.

The fact that pricing is not published means you would need to contact Mx. Love directly to understand costs, which is a step many people prefer to avoid until they are certain about fit.
