Answer
Pardon the delay; was out of town this weekend.

I understand the struggle and the trauma.  M/s relationships are VASTLY different emotionally than most marriages.
  
The NCSF (National Coalition for Sexual Freedom) has a "kink-aware professionals" page in their RESOURCES tab.  Here one I found on the first page for Britain.  Now: there are 10 pages of resources, so you may wish to go through the remaining nine pages.  The link is: https://ncsfreedom.org/resources/kink-aware-professionals-directory/kap-directory-homepage.html?catid=14
