About Us: Therapy for Adults Polyamorous and Open Relationships
Our Journey
Therapy for Adults Polyamorous and Open Relationships (TAPOR) was founded in 2017 with a simple yet powerful vision: to provide a dedicated space where adults navigating polyamorous and open relationships could find support, education, and community. The idea stemmed from the recognition of an often-overlooked niche within the mental health landscape—the unique challenges faced by those in non-monogamous relationships.
Our story began as a passion project for our founder, Dr. Emma Hart, who had dedicated years to studying and supporting individuals in polyamorous communities. She noticed a distinct lack of accessible resources and professional guidance available specifically tailored to this demographic, leading her to create TAPOR.
