About Me
My name is Moushumi, but please call me Mou, (pronounced mo).
In 2007 I became a licensed psychotherapist and opened my practice in West Hollywood, CA
specializing in Sex Therapy. I knew I wanted to support the LGBTQ community, but I honestly didn't know how needed this work was and how I would expand into it.
Shortly there after I founded Los Angeles Sex Therapy
and I brought on other like-minded clinicians who also wished to be of service and to also expand access to safe, affirming spaces and to work towards supporting them and dismantling the gamut of harmful, sex-negative tropes permeating our society.
I also realized that in order to reach the masses I needed to do something beyond
direct one-on-one work.
I needed to create media that reached a broader audience.
I started blogging, started a podcast, then a youtube channel and took my message to the inter webs.
It was then that I became focused on education, media & creative work.
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 fludity, 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 born.
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 in coffee shops writing poetry or my memoirs, traveling and making documentary films, hosting retreats, recording songs and touring with my guitar, or doing AstroCartoGraphy readings - the study of astrology and travel.
