Why This Space Matters
Your therapist should walk in knowing what your relationship is, not spend the first few sessions learning.
Denver has a large LGBTQ+ community and plenty of therapists willing to work with queer couples. But a lot of those couples have still sat in sessions doing a lot of explaining. They worked through things their therapist had never considered, carrying more of the load than they should have to.
LGBTQ+ couples therapy in Denver at Colorado Women's Center starts from a different place. Your therapist has worked with LGBTQ+ couples and comes in with that background. Your sessions are about your relationship and what you're actually going through.

Our Promise to You
We Guarantee Our Therapist Matching
Reaching out takes something, and we want you to feel like it was worth it. If your first therapist isn't working for you, we'll connect you with someone else at no additional cost. You won't have to explain your relationship from the beginning again or go looking on your own.

If something has been wearing on your relationship, you don't have to wait for it to get worse.
Most couples who come to our Denver office have been living with something for a while. A conversation that keeps going sideways. A slow pulling apart. None of it has to reach a crisis before it's worth bringing in.
Communication & Conflict
The conversation starts fine and ends somewhere familiar and unresolved. Or things have quietly moved off the table because raising them never helps. A good therapist can show you what's happening.
Identity & Transition
When one of you is moving through a shift in how you understand yourself, your relationship moves through it too. Therapy gives you both room, without either pausing for the other.
Family & Outside Pressure
Families that aren't fully accepting create a low-grade stress that doesn't stay outside the relationship. It comes in with you. Therapy gives you a place to work through it.
Intimacy & Connection
The closeness between you has changed. Emotional distance, physical disconnection, mismatched needs around intimacy. These are among the most common things couples bring in, and they shift with support.
Shame & Self-Protection
Sometimes what reads as a relationship issue is older than the relationship. Self-protection, the fear of being seen too clearly, shame running quietly underneath. Your therapist can help you both work through it.
Big Life Transitions
Moving in together, marriage, adopting, shifting careers, becoming parents. Big changes surface things that weren't visible before, and working on them early beats waiting.
Relationship Structure & Agreements
Non-monogamy, or redefining what your agreements look like. If your relationship doesn't follow a preset template, your therapist will work with it as it actually is.
Grief & Loss
Two people can grieve the same loss very differently, and that gap pulls you apart when you most want to be close. We can help you stay connected through it.
Pre-Commitment Counseling
You're heading somewhere together and you want the foundation solid. Pre-commitment therapy gives you time to understand each other more fully and address anything sitting unresolved.
Our Approach
How LGBTQ+ couples therapy in Denver works.
Before you sit down with a therapist, you'll talk with a Wellness Coordinator. They match you with someone who fits your relationship.
A Free Match Call to Start
Your Wellness Coordinator will ask about your relationship, what's been going on, and what you're each hoping to get out of therapy. They use that to find you a therapist with the right experience for your situation.
One Therapist Who Knows Your Relationship
You'll work with one therapist who builds a real understanding of you as a couple. Sessions draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, shaped around what you actually need. Most couples notice a meaningful shift within the first few sessions.
Individual Therapy, If It's Useful
Sometimes one partner wants individual work alongside couples sessions. We can support that, or help you start individually and move into couples therapy when you're ready.

Common Questions
What people ask us before booking their first call.
How do I know this is a good fit for us?
Your first step is a free call with one of our Wellness Coordinators. They'll ask about your relationship and what you're both looking for, and then connect you with a therapist who has genuine experience working with LGBTQ+ couples. You won't spend your first session explaining who you are.
We've tried therapy before and it didn't go well. Is it worth trying again?
That's a fair question, and we hear it often. A lot of couples who've had a hard experience in therapy were working with someone who wasn't the right fit. Our Match Call is specifically designed to sort that out before you commit to sessions.
My partner is hesitant. Should I come on my own?
Individual LGBTQ+ therapy is worth doing on its own, and starting individually is something a lot of people do. Some come in alone for a while and move into couples sessions later when their partner is ready. You don't need to wait.
Is what we share in sessions completely private?
Yes. Everything in your sessions is confidential and HIPAA compliant. Nothing leaves the practice without your explicit written consent. That includes information shared with employers, family members, or anyone else. Your privacy is protected in full, whether you meet at the Platte St. office or online.
How quickly can we get in?
Most new clients are seen within a week of first contact, and the Match Call is free. Sessions run seven days a week, 8am to 8pm, so an early morning before work or a Saturday is a real option. Call 720.810.2355 or fill out the form on this page.
Can we do sessions online instead of coming in?
Yes. Telehealth is available for couples anywhere in Colorado, and you can join from the same location or from two separate ones. That matters if one of you is downtown and the other is working from home. Many Denver couples alternate between LoHi and online.
What does couples therapy cost?
Visit our fees and insurance page for current rates. We are unable to accept Medicaid or Medicare, so most clients use out-of-network benefits or pay privately. Your Wellness Coordinator will go through the numbers with you on the free Match Call, before anything is booked.
