Gay sex therapist new york

I also pr ovide couples counseling for gay men and have assisted many couples enter the world of parenting. Interpersonal relationships for gay men are often challenging because many gay men do not expect another man to be responsive and supportive emotionally, they often behave in distancing ways that make their expectations come true. Couples therapy from a gay affirmative framework provides the often missing legitimization and support of their relationship in addition to practical techniques on how to communicate thoughts, feelings and emotional needs to a partner. Gay affirmative therapy also provides my patients the opportunity to strike the balance between ones need for autonomy and the conflicting need for emotional closeness. Helping couples understand these dynamics and assisting couples remove shame and stigma from their relationship has proven to be most beneficial.
