Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Individuals and Couples Counseling

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered couples and individuals may have additional challenges just by being members of a society where the majority are heterosexual and slow to accept the existence of a way of life different than their own. This can result in struggles with anxiety, depression, self-worth, fears of rejection, and religious and spiritual concerns as the decision is made to tell colleagues, friends, and loved ones.

The clinical psychologists at Colorado Psychotherapy Services in Denver will provide a consistently safe environment to address and process the mental health concerns of anger, grief, fear, and sadness that may occur while also helping to connect to other members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community if needed. Lesbian and gay couples also face additional challenges with defining partner roles, obtaining legal documents to protect and define their union, having children, etc.

The clinical psychologists at Colorado Psychotherapy Services understand when two individuals decide to come together in a relationship that problems are inevitable regardless of the gender of one’s partner. These problems along with those unique to same-sex couples are addressed with sensitivity, compassion, and a touch of humor in lesbian and gay couple’s therapy so that usable, real world solutions are found and deeper intimacy and connection is achieved.
