Looking for ways to spark the conversation about
STIs and getting tested? You’re not alone!
Starting the talk can feel awkward, but it’s one of
the best ways to keep you and your partner(s)
healthy.
First let your partner know you want to talk
about keeping each other safe and healthy.

If you’re having s*x, you can easily
share s*xually transmitted infections
(STIs), including HIV. On any given day, one in five
people in the U.S. have an STI, and many of
them don’t have any symptoms. That’s why routine
STI testing matters.

Knowing your STI status can help you
get treatment early, protect your health, and have
more open, informed conversations with partners.
Testing is quick, confidential, and often easier than
people expect.

Swipe for tips on talking with partners about STI
testing, when to get tested, which STIs to test for,
and how to get tested.

Advances in therapy are changing how we support clients—especially when we welcome diversity and non-traditional methods.

At Eros Arcana Therapy, inclusivity isn't just a buzzword; it's the foundation. We specialize in therapy that honors every relationship type and life experience, including polyamory, kink, s*x work, and spiritual paths. Traditional therapy often lacks this representation, leaving many feeling unseen and unheard.

That's why we combine proven methods like EMDR alongside unique approaches such as tarot-assisted therapy. These tools help clients process trauma, explore identity, and cultivate deeper intimacy in ways that feel authentic and empowering.

For example, a couple navigating non-monogamy found renewed connection through sessions that honored their unique approach and addressed their challenges without judgment. Another client used tarot to connect their spiritual beliefs with healing practices, finding a new path forward.

This means therapy can be a sanctuary where all clients—regardless of background or lifestyle—feel safe, validated, and supported in their growth. It's about more than healing; it's about reshaping intimacy and cultivating connection on your terms.

How could welcoming diversity and new methods reshape your therapy experience? At Eros Arcana, we're here to walk that path with you.
