Same Sex Couples Counseling

Same sex couples often seek the expertise of a expert and trained counselor.

Distressed couples, regardless of their sexual orientation, are often facing similar kinds of problems when they request the help of a couples counselor.

Some of the problems common to all couples in distress are issues with communication, intimacy, handling conflict and family of origin issues, among others.

These challenges may include

2) Resolving relational ambiguity in the areas of commitment, boundaries, and gender linked behaviors

3) Developing adequate social support (the "families of choice")
