Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Counseling

All of the topics that concern individuals and couples of course apply to those who are gay, lesbian or transgender. Anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts and so forth are not restricted to sexual orientation boundaries. 

As a psychologist, I have worked with gay, lesbian and transgender people very effectively because of my understanding and experience. My extensive training as a psychologist and over 27 years of being in practice have included counseling many people in the gay, lesbian and transgender population.

It is of critical importance that gay, lesbian and transgender people (and straight individuals) learn effective communication and problem-solving skills in order to foster a meaningful, loving relationship. These can be taught in therapy sessions.

Therapy with gay, lesbian or transgender individuals or couples (with the guidance of a respectful and caring counselor) can promote a long, healthy relationship. The acronym “LOVERS” is a guideline for one and all. It is an aspiration that is well worth the effort for a lifetime of peace and content.
