Inclusive Relationship Care

Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Couples Counseling

Gay and Lesbian Couples Counseling

Many same-sex pairs may experience extreme stress if everyday supports are lacking in their lives—for example, familial, legal, religious, economic, and social support. Members of same-sex couples have experienced societal prejudice in different ways and have dealt with it internally in their own ways, but the effect of “minority stress,” or the effects of living with often negative social conditions, always exists to some extent.

Transgender Couples Counseling

When we talk about the issue of gender-related to transitioning or couples with one or both partners identifying as transgender, gender nonconforming, gender-neutral, etc., it’s important to have a couples therapist who understands these experiences. Couples counseling for transgender couples can be effective when one or both of you are thinking about, planning, or are in the process of transitioning.
