Relationship Counseling for Gay Men
If you are gay relationship counseling in Chicago, there is a good chance that you want to work with a therapist that “gets” your issues. The last thing you want to do is go to couples therapy and work with a counselor where you – or your partner – needs to “edit” themselves in order to receive services. It’s just not healthy and we know from research not – very helpful.
At Couples Counseling Center, you never have to worry about that – ever. When you employ the services of one of our counselors, you are gaining the insight, support and guidance from a specialist that either identifies as gay or is super gay friendly. That may be blunt and direct but at the end of the day, isn’t that the kind of counselor you want to work with?
