LGBTQ Therapy for queer relationships in Riverside CA and Murrieta CA
You love your partner! They are most incredible person you have ever met. The two of you want desperately to have a healthy, happy, healing relationship. You know you want to be together AND being together is really hard sometimes. You have your careers, you love being outdoors and hosting gatherings for your friends. You are figuring out what it’s like to be a family, maybe hoping to become parents or navigating a blended family.
Challenges for LGBTQIA+
Relationships
Your relationship is wonderful and beautiful AND because of discrimination, homophobia, or traumatic events, you two might have some extra challenges. One of you might be dealing with the after-effects of growing up queer in a religious household or conversion therapy. You might not have the family support you need because your parents don’t know how to understand your beautiful relationship. Their worldview isn’t expansive enough to include you. You might know this isn’t about you and still struggle with the pain of their rejection or suffer from the lack of affirming love from your family.

Creating a relationship beyond his & hers
Even if you are lucky enough to not face any of those other challenges LGBTQIA+ couples face, you might still hit some speed bumps around what a healthy partnership looks like. You’re trying to create a relationship that is different from the one you saw in your home growing up. This his & hers traditional gender roles thing just doesn’t work for you.
There are no unique treatments for LGBTQIA+ couples and the methods used successfully with heterosexual couples can be used for you and your partner too. LGBT marriage counseling isn’t that different: healthy human relationships are healthy human relationships; the principles are the same. However, you need a therapist that understands your unique challenges and isn’t going to try to force heteronormative expectations onto your beautiful queer relationship.

Finding the right therapist for your queer relationship
It can be difficult to find the right fit when it comes to any relationship including your relationship with your therapist. We are here to help you! We want to assure you that you have found the right place to go to when it comes to building your relationship to its healthiest. Couples therapists at Inland Empire Couples Counseling are LGBTQIA+ friendly, and many of us proudly belong to the community ourselves. We provide a safe space for you and your partner to be able to come and be vulnerable together so you can heal your old hurts and create a beautiful future together. We know what it is like to go into a therapist's office or space and feel that this will not be a good match because they just don't get "us."
As therapists who are immersed in the community and looks outside of the heteronormative expectations as a society - we get it, and want to just help you two get to your happy place together. We will make sure to talk about topics of red flags, boundaries, communication, societal strains, safe spaces, outing, toxic relationships, and how to have a healthy relationship along with so many other "hot" topics. We welcome anyone to try our healthy relationship counseling as well as individual therapy because sometimes we need to love ourself so we can better love our partner.
We have so much work to do in every relationship and we are all a work in progress!
