We know our world today causes you to face external pressures and hurdles that are difficult to endure emotionally either individually or as a couple. We are here to create a personable, private, and safe environment that allows you to freely express your relationship struggles.
How LGBTQ+ Couples or Individual Counseling Can Help Your Relationship
Unfortunately, many LGBTQ+ individuals and couples have had negative or hurtful experiences of therapy in the past. If you have, it would make perfect sense why you may feel uneasy about attending counseling now. We wish to provide you with a different experience and to experience the respect, compassion and support you deserve. Our LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy practice values respect and we believe in helping you feel as comfortable with this process as possible. From there, we will begin to build a relationship with you that will allow you to unpack and address your reasons for coming to therapy.
(Couples and individual therapy can be a positive tool for helping partners better understand each other.)
Couples therapy, relationship counseling and individual therapy can help smooth communication lines between you and the people in your world whom you care about. It will help you gain a better understanding of the sticking points that are getting in the way in your relationships. We couples get mixed up in our own emotions that we lose our ability to listen and respond to our partner’s words. We will help you successfully discuss these misinterpretations and confused feelings to build a stronger relationship.
While communication is a word a lot of people use to describe their relationship problems, other issues are often at play. We can help you identify them and work through them through LGBTQ+ friendly couples therapy or individual counseling. Some common concerns seen in all relationships are:
Affairs and infidelity
Loss of intimacy
Feeling distant from each other
Problems resolving conflict
The feeling of staying together only for the children
Technology issues
Our LGBTQ+ affirming therapists present a judgment-free space to support open and honest conversation that helps uncover and address the challenges you are facing.
