About Me
I'm Moushumi Ghose. I write, make films and music, about transformation, about the taboo, about sexuality, the outer world, the inner world, the underworld and all the ways in which we discover ourselves.
For over two decades, my work in sexuality and relationships took me inside the private lives people rarely talk about.
And through film, music, writing, I tell the stories that live in our collective bodies, old and new, ancestral, terrestrial ~
to expose the truth.
for visibility.
to change the narrative,
the more visible we are. the less they can erase us.
In 2007 when I became a licensed psychotherapist and opened a sex therapy focused practice in West Hollywood, CA intending to support the LGBTQ community, I knew how needed this work was
but didn't know how I would desire to expand it.
I founded Los Angeles Sex Therapy
to bring on other like-minded clinicians who also wished to also expand inclusionary spaces, access to safe, affirming therapy and to work towards supporting them and dismantling the gamut of harmful, sex-negative tropes permeating our society.
But, in order to reach the masses I needed to do something beyond
direct one-on-one work.
Thus began my journey to create media that reaches a broader audience.
I started blogging, started a podcast, then a youtube channel and took my message to the inter webs.
I became focused on media, education & creative work.
As a creative native this came naturally to me.
From 2011-2015 I traveled around the country documenting the sexual politics and pleasure landscape, exploring the intersection of sex, cultural history, and spirituality.
You can watch the first 3 episodes here, with more to come soon: Temples and Brothels
I've written a few books addressing human relationships and sexual fluidity, such as Classic Sex Positions Reinvented, Love is Not a Pie, Marriage, Money and Porn, and most recently a memoir Cheers to Queers.
In 2020, during the pandemic I closed all our physical offices and turned Los Angeles Sex Therapy
into a 100% virtual practice and LAST Collective was also born. (i.e we're a sex therapy collective not a traditional group practice.)
Today, I oversee LAST and continue to mentor sex-positive practitioners who share this commitment in
Pleasure Psych™ Training and Certification Program,
My mission is that we all may live at the intersections of our truth.
I maintain a very limited clinical practice and am not accepting new clients.
You will find me recording songs and touring with my guitar, writing poetry or my memoirs in coffee shops, traveling and making documentary films, hosting retreats, healing my body through movement and food, or doing AstroCartoGraphy readings - the study of astrology and travel.
love, Mou
