Mou's Story

​

Moushumi Ghose is a multi-passionate writer and creator who passion has been cultivating self acceptance around sexuality, relationships and gender identity for more than 3 decades. She became a licensed therapist in 2007, dedicating her practice towards supporting the LGBTQ, Kink, Non-Monogamous communities in finding their voice so they can live more authentically but soon this translated to reaching broader audiences and educating around sexuality, gender and relationships. 

​

As a queer south Asian person born to Asian-Indian immigrants, Mou struggled with fitting in with the normative culture. It took Mou a while to recognize the true path to her own healing was through creativity, pleasure, and community, and and more specifically, the support of the queer community.  

Through the exploration of her own fluidity in relationships, sexuality, gender and creativity,

Mou was able to find her own voice. 

Finding communities that support fluidity, creativity, resistance and uprising is the key to healing.  It has been Mou's journey to provide inspiration and support to others for this discovery, understanding, and exploration as well.  

​

Moushumi opened her private practice in 2007 in West Hollywood, CA and Los Angeles Sex Therapy (LAST) was born.

​

Since then, Mou has written several books on the topic of fluidity in relationships, gender, sex and acceptance and has established herself as a multifaceted voice through her films, YouTube videos, and her extensive writing.

​

Her passion for exploring the complexities of human sexuality extends beyond her clinical practice into her creative work, where she addresses personal and societal challenges surrounding sex, identity, and emotional well-being.

 

Moushumi holds a BA in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis on Human Sexuality from San Francisco State University and a Master’s degree from Pepperdine University. As a writer, she has contributed to publications such as The Huffington Post, Dame, Men’s Health, and others, bringing her unique insights on relationships and sexuality to a wider audience. She is regularly featured as an expert on these subjects. 

​

Moushumi is also a songwriter and musician. Her poetry collections dive deep into themes of depression, loneliness, disillusionment, and quiet resistance. Through vivid, introspective imagery, Moushumi captures the emotional turmoil that many face in today’s turbulent world, creating work that resonates with readers who have experienced similar inner struggles.
