It's Complicated

Find a therapist that is Kink and BDSM Knowledgeable

One of the primary benefits of working with a Kink and BDSM Knowledgeable therapist is that they can provide a non-judgmental, sex-positive space for clients to discuss their desires and experiences. Many people who are involved in kink or BDSM may feel shame or stigma around their interests, and having a therapist who understands and accepts these practices can be immensely validating.
