How is therapy useful?

Before embarking on this momentous life change, why not take the time to solidify your relationship through counseling? Counseling for LGBTQ individuals and couples at Lotus Counseling Center can benefit your partnership by addressing concerns that are unique to your relationship as well as those particular issues that are unique to the LGBTQ community. Some of the areas we can help you and your partner work on together may include:

• Reproduction, adoption, and parenting
• Sexual satisfaction
• Gender role expectations
• Inclusion in the LGBTQ community
• Acceptance by family and society
• Communication and intimacy
