When you come to Colorado Women's Center in Denver, your therapist will already know what it means to be in a queer relationship.
You've probably looked around already. Maybe scanned a few profiles, reached out somewhere, or wondered who was actually the right fit for what you're dealing with as a couple. That search is harder than it should be, and we hear that a lot.
At Colorado Women's Center in Denver, you'll be matched with a therapist who has real experience working with LGBTQ+ couples. They come in already familiar with the dynamics that are specific to queer relationships. Your first session starts on what's actually going on between you two.

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.
Request a Free ConsultationWhy 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 a lot of therapists who are willing to work with queer couples. But a lot of those couples have still sat in sessions doing a lot of explaining, working through things their therapist had never considered before, carrying more of the load than they should have to.
At Colorado Women's Center in Denver, your therapist already understands the terrain. They've worked with LGBTQ+ couples and they come in with that background, so your sessions are about your relationship and what you're actually going through.
Our Denver office is on Platte St. in LoHi, between Union Station and the Lower Highlands. It's easy to get to whether you're coming from Capitol Hill, RiNo, Cherry Creek, or the surrounding neighborhoods. Telehealth is also available anywhere in Colorado.

What Brings Couples to Therapy
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. A feeling that something is off but it's hard to name. These are the things we hear most often from LGBTQ+ couples in Denver.
Communication & Conflict
The conversation starts fine and ends somewhere familiar and unresolved. Or there are things that have quietly moved off the table because bringing them up doesn't seem to help. A good therapist can show you what's actually happening in those moments.
Identity & Transition
When one or both of you is moving through a shift in how you understand yourself, your relationship moves through it too. Therapy gives you both room to work with that, without either of you feeling like you have to pause your own process for the other.
Family & Outside Pressure
Families that aren't fully accepting create a kind of ongoing low-grade stress that doesn't stay outside the relationship. It comes in with you. Therapy gives you a place to work through what it's doing to each of you and to what you have together.
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 to therapy, and they tend to shift with the right support.
Shame & Self-Protection
Sometimes what reads as a relationship issue is older than the relationship. Patterns of self-protection, the fear of being seen too clearly, shame that runs quietly in the background. Your therapist can help you both recognize what's happening and work through it.
Big Life Transitions
Moving in together, marriage, adopting, shifting careers, becoming parents. Big changes surface things that weren't visible before. Working on those things early, before they settle into conflict, tends to go a lot better than waiting.
Relationship Structure & Agreements
Whether you're navigating non-monogamy, redefining what your agreements look like, or building a structure that doesn't follow a preset template, your therapist will work with your relationship as it actually is.
Grief & Loss
Two people can grieve the same loss very differently, and that gap can pull you apart when you most want to be close. We can help you stay connected through it, even when you're each in a different place.
Pre-Commitment Counseling
You're heading somewhere together and you want the foundation to be solid. Pre-commitment therapy gives you time to understand each other more fully, address anything that's been sitting unresolved, and move forward with a clear sense of what you're building.
Our Approach
How we work with LGBTQ+ couples in Denver.
Before you ever sit down with a therapist, you'll talk with one of our Wellness Coordinators. They take time to understand your situation and match you with someone who's genuinely the right fit for 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 specific situation.
One Therapist Who Knows Your Relationship
You'll work consistently with one therapist who builds a real understanding of you as a couple over time. Sessions draw on approaches like 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 or both partners wants to do some individual work alongside couples sessions. We can support that. Some people also start individually and move into couples therapy once they're ready. We'll help you figure out what works.

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?
Yes. 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.
How quickly can we get in?
Most new clients are seen within a week. Your Match Call is free. Call us at 720.810.2355 or fill out the form on this page and someone will follow up with you quickly.
Can we do sessions online instead of coming in?
Yes. Telehealth is available for couples anywhere in Colorado. You can join from the same location or from two separate ones. Many couples use a combination of in-person and online sessions depending on what that week looks like.
What does couples therapy cost?
Visit our fees and insurance page for current rates. We are unable to accept Medicaid or Medicare. Most clients use out-of-network benefits or pay privately. Your Wellness Coordinator can walk you through your options during your Match Call.
