About Me
My name is Moushumi, but please call me Mou, (pronounced mo).
My goal is empower you to embrace hidden aspects, challenge outdated stories, and dismantle harmful tropes around sexuality, gender, relationships so you can live more freely, authentically and in alignment with your truth.
I knew that humanitarian work was my calling, so I pursued degrees in Clinical Psychology not knowing where they would lead. In 2007, after getting licensed,
I decided to open a sex therapy private practice in the heart of
West Hollywood, California with one vision:
to support my LGBTQIA+ kinky, polyamorous community and provide a safe space to undo the sex-negative conditioning all around us.
Over the years, that work expanded well beyond the solo therapy room.
Because our liberation was never just a clinical issue.
It's personal. It's cultural. It's political
What began as a solo, purpose-driven practice grew into something larger.
I founded Los Angeles Sex Therapy —and began to bring on other like-minded clinicians who wished to be of service and to also expand access to safe, affirming spaces for folks not just navigating intimacy, identity, and desire but the intersections that define who we are.
From 2011-2015 I traveled around the country with some friends 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 wellness, such as Classic Sex Positions Reinvented, Love is Not a Pie, Marriage, Money and Porn, and my memoir Cheers to Queers,
which came out in 2025.
Today, I continue to mentor 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.
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 - the study of astrology and travel (and yes, I also do readings).
