Gay couples counseling

The Center for American Progress estimates that 20-30% of the gay male and transgendered community are substance abusers versus 9% of the general population.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) statistics below comparing homosexuals to heterosexuals are alarming:

Tobacco: Gay/transgender men have a tobacco intake rate up to 200% greater than heterosexuals.

Marijuana: Gay men are 3.5 times more likely to use marijuana than heterosexual men.

Amphetamines: Gay men are almost 13 times more likely to use amphetamines.

Heroin: Gay men are nearly 10 times more likely to use heroin than heterosexuals.

Alcohol: An estimated 25% of gay and transgender men abuse alcohol compared to 5-10% of the general population.

Alcohol abuse: Between 20-25% of lesbians and gay men are heavy alcohol users, compared to 3-10% of the general population.

Maintaining an intimate relationship requires work from both individuals involved

Maintaining an intimate relationship requires work from both individuals involved. Typical stressors can be magnified when the couple identifies as gay and a same-sex couple may prefer to seek gay couples counseling to have their specific needs met. An LGBTQ+ affirmative counselor specializes in providing individual, relationship, gay couples counseling, and group therapy for individuals who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, and/or pansexual. While most, if not all, couples could benefit from a counselor, sometimes the specific guidance and support of gay couples counseling is imperative to restoring the health of a particular relationship.
