During these unprecedented times, even the best relationships are being strained, and some are beginning to crumble. What before may have been slight cracks in the foundation of a love relationship are now becoming full-scale breaks.
After the end of three challenging years of the pandemic, a return to a more ‘normal’ life may have led you to re-evaluate where your relationship stands.
If you’ve felt like being with your partner or spouse is more like a prison rather than a refuge, you’re not alone.
We’ve all been feeling more challenges in our lives, especially with roller coaster news headlines, and your relationship may be bearing the brunt of this stress. It’s probably crossed your mind more than once that you may need to get help for your relationship before it’s too late.
GayCouplesTherapy is not your cookie-cutter couples therapy. It is a proven program designed to give you the steps you and your partner/spouse need to rebuild your relationship, one step at a time.
Remember what it was like in the beginning of your relationship? Most likely, falling in love with your partner or spouse was one of the best “highs” you’ve had. Is it too late to feel that again, with the same person? It doesn’t have to be.
To repair and rebuild your relationship, we use the Loving at Your Best Plan, the only gay couples therapy in New York that integrates the top, evidence-based couples therapy models into one effective approach. Staying happily “in-love” doesn’t have to be guess work: the science of love has now taught us what makes a relationship stay loving, and how to make it last–and not just for straight couples.

Traditional societal norms have prescribed that monogamy is the only acceptable type of romantic relationship. However, in recent decades, the LGBTQ+ community has been at the forefront of challenging these norms and investigating alternative relationship structures.

Some people may love more than one person at the same time, which is known as a polyamorous relationship (in Latin, “poly” means many and “amory” means love).

Navigating kink, sexual diversity, and fetish can be challenging in any relationship. For queer couples, it could be particularly challenging if we’ve experienced trauma related to our sexual and gender identity.

People naturally need to feel like they belong and are accepted by others.

One of the most common issues gay men in New York City face is what schema therapy terms, “social exclusion,” the process of being excluded from social groups and activities that can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. For gay men, social exclusion can be especially prevalent due to discrimination and prejudice that still exists in society.
Group schema therapy can be one of the most effective ways for gay men in New York City to address social exclusion issues.
Managing differences is one of the most challenging aspects of a romantic relationship. We struggle in relationships to understand and accept “otherness” in those we choose to love. To cross over from our own indignation, reach out to our partners, listen deeply, validate, and negotiate difference forces us into uncomfortable places. This is even more […]
