Why It Helps to Start Here
Your therapist already knows what queer relationships involve.
Plenty of same-sex and queer couples have spent their early sessions teaching a therapist the basics, like what coming out to family actually costs, how identity differences show up between two people day to day, or why certain milestones came late or never came at all. That is a lot of ground to cover before you reach the thing that brought you in.
At Colorado Women's Center, your therapist has sat with queer couples many times before. The first session can go straight to the two of you and what is happening in your relationship right now.

Our Promise to You
We Stand Behind Your Therapist Match
Finding someone you trust takes time, and we treat that as our job, not yours. If the therapist you start with doesn't feel like the right fit, we'll move you to someone who is, at no added cost, and you won't have to go back to the beginning and retell your whole story.

If the relationship feels stuck somewhere, you've come to the right place.
Most couples reach out when something has been building quietly for a while, like an argument that never fully resolves, a slow drift that crept up on both of you, or a change that turned out harder than either of you expected. These are the things we hear most from the LGBTQ+ couples we work with across Colorado.
Communication That Keeps Stalling
You sit down to talk and land in the same spot every time. Some topics you have quietly stopped raising because it never seems to go anywhere. Your therapist can help you see what keeps driving that loop and find a different way through it.
Identity & Transition
When one or both of you is moving through a change in identity, the relationship is moving through it too. Your therapist works with both of you at the same time and will not push either of you toward a particular outcome.
Family & Outside Pressure
When your family has not fully come around, that weight follows you home. Therapy gives you a place to sort through what it is doing to each of you, and to the relationship you share.
Intimacy & Closeness
Something between you has gone quiet, whether that is emotional distance, mismatched desire, or a physical disconnect. This is one of the more common reasons couples come in, and it tends to respond well to the work.
Shame & Self-Protection
Sometimes the issue on the surface traces back to something older, like shame, the habit of guarding yourself, or a worry that being fully seen ends in rejection. Your therapist can help you both name those patterns and start to ease them.
Big Life Transitions
Marriage, kids, adoption, a move, a new career. Large changes tend to surface things that stayed quiet before. Therapy is a good place to work through them while they are still workable.
Relationship Structure & Agreements
Open relationship, non-monogamy, or a setup that does not match the usual template, your therapist works with the relationship you actually have rather than the one a textbook assumes.
Grief & Loss
Grief shows up differently for different people, and when two of you are grieving on separate timelines it gets hard to stay close. We can help you move through loss together while you each feel it in your own way.
Pre-Commitment Counseling
Things are good and you want to keep them that way. Pre-commitment work gives you room to understand each other more fully, clear anything that has been sitting under the surface, and step forward with a clearer sense of what you are building.
How It Works
What getting started actually looks like.
The first step is smaller than it feels. From your first call, you are talking with someone who listens and works to pair you with a therapist who fits your situation.
It Starts With a Free Match Call
Before you meet a therapist, you'll talk with one of our Wellness Coordinators on a free call. They will ask about what is going on, what each of you is carrying, and what matters most to you in the person you work with. The match comes out of that conversation, so you are paired with someone suited to your situation from the start.
Therapy Built Around You
Your therapist gets to know you as a couple, your history together, the patterns you fall into, and what each of you is holding. Sessions draw on methods like Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, shaped to what you actually need. Many couples feel a shift inside the first few sessions.
Individual Support When It Helps
Sometimes the most useful move for a couple is for one or both of you to do some individual work too. We can run that alongside your couples sessions, and if one of you would rather begin on your own, that works as well.
Come In or Connect Online
We see couples in our offices and over telehealth anywhere in Colorado. Many couples mix the two depending on what the week allows.

Common Questions
Questions couples tend to ask first.
Will our therapist really get what we are dealing with?
Yes. On your Match Call, your Wellness Coordinator pairs you with a therapist who has real experience working with LGBTQ+ couples, so you can skip the part where you explain the basics.
We are in pretty different places right now. Does that work?
It does, and it is one of the most common things queer couples bring in. Your therapist works with both of you at once, without taking a side or steering you toward a set outcome.
My partner is unsure about therapy. Can I come on my own?
Yes. Individual LGBTQ+ therapy stands on its own and is often a good way to begin. You do not have to wait until your partner is ready.
Is what we talk about kept private?
Yes, fully. Everything in your sessions stays confidential, and nothing leaves the room without your written consent. We protect your privacy without exception.
How soon can we get in?
Most new clients are seen within about a week, and the Match Call itself is free. Fill out the form on this page to schedule a Match Call.
Can we meet online?
Yes. Telehealth is open to couples anywhere in Colorado. You can join from the same room or from two different places.
What does this cost?
Visit our pricing page for current rates. We are unable to accept Medicaid or Medicare, and many clients use out-of-network benefits or pay privately. Your Wellness Coordinator can walk you through the options on your Match Call.
