Gay LGBT

At Community Psychological Services, you will find a non-judgmental and supportive environment in which caring therapists are committed to helping you resolve LGBT issues you are facing.

Most people find themselves coping with varying degrees of stress, anxiety, grief, depression, marital and parenting at some point in their lives. Similarly, all couples argue over the same kinds of issues, i.e. money, sex, family interference and time spent together.

 

Common Gay – LGBT Struggles

For gay individuals, typical problems include finding solutions for:

  • Discrimination and oppression as a sexual minority
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Being an “authentic” self —coming out to friends and family
  • Depression
  • Bullying
  • Understanding oneself, with homosexuality being part of self, but not the defining factor of who you are
  • Gay and lesbian marriage problems
  • Gay and lesbian parenting issues

    Our Therapy

    Services

    Our therapists offer caring and confidential services for:

    Couples Counseling

    Conflict and misunderstanding with a spouse or life partner can be challenging, but it can also be an impetus for growth and deepen your relationship. We work with individuals and couples, including same-sex couples, to strengthen your connection.

    Communication

    Communication can often be the most challenging issue in any relationship. Differing ideas about finances, child-rearing or health concerns can often create a wall between you and a loved one. We can help you develop tools to facilitate constructive dialogue and help eliminate blaming and name-calling.

    Work Stress

    You can spend up to half of your waking life at work. When it’s a persistent source of stress or anxiety, it can affect the rest of your life as well. We will help you effectively deal with any work-related issue, from relentless pressure to an unexpected termination.

    Depression

    Are you struggling to get through every day? Are you having trouble finding pleasure and a sense of well-being? Do you often feel like the things you do simply don’t make a difference? You could be suffering from depression. We can help you develop tools to combat feelings of helplessness and recognize the events that trigger negative feelings.

    Loneliness

    We all need to be alone at times, but loneliness can be crushing, leading to anxiety, listlessness and low self-esteem. We can help you pinpoint the underlying causes of your loneliness and help you develop tools to make yourself more available to others.

    Gay / LGBTQ

    Discriminated against or bullied because of your sexual orientation? Finding it difficult to be your authentic self with loved ones? We offer a supportive and non-judgmental approach, helping you deal with the social and personal challenges when you identify as LGBTQ.

    Anxiety/Panic Attacks

    We all feel anxiety or panic at some point in our lives. It shouldn’t cause us to withdraw from those we love or limit our connection with others. At Affordable Therapy, we have the tools to help you anticipate and respond to panic attacks, so that they don’t control your life. We know how scary panic attacks and anxiety can be. We have the techniques to help you reduce these symptoms.

    Grief

    Grief is often an ordinary and difficult part of life, but it’s different for everyone. When you’ve lost a loved one, you can struggle with knowing when and how to move forward. We can help you find healthy and constructive ways to feel and express your loss.

    Addiction

    Getting addictive behavior under control is hard work, but keeping it in check can often be more difficult. Whether its substance abuse, food, shopping, sex or gambling, we can help you identify problem behaviors and put practices in place to stay clean.

    Adult Survivors of Child Abuse

    When you’ve been the victim of child abuse, trust can be elusive, making relationships difficult and challenging. The effects of abuse can touch almost every area of your life. We offer a safe and non-threatening environment to help you develop ways to cope and move forward.

    Crisis Intervention

    Crisis can often seem a regular part of modern life. Whether it’s a natural disaster, a physical assault or relationship changes, unexpected events can paralyze you. We offer tools to help you effectively respond to fear, anger, grief and other potentially harmful emotions.

    Stepparenting

    Being a stepparent can often feel like a “no-win” situation. Your spouse hopes for a closer bond and your stepchildren can often be resistant. We can help you find ways to develop good relationships with your stepchildren, based on love, trust, support and understanding.
