Why Gay Men Need Gay Therapists

Finding the right therapist is one of the most personal—and powerful—steps you can take for your mental and emotional well-being.

When I first began therapy as a gay man, I quickly realized how often my experiences were misunderstood or minimized. Instead of diving into healing, I spent sessions explaining LGBTQ+ culture, dating, and identity. This made it clear: not all therapists are equipped to work with gay clients.

In this video, I break down why working with a gay-affirming therapist matters, and the potential risks of choosing one who isn't:

✅ You may end up over-explaining your life.
✅ You may feel unseen or misunderstood.
✅ You may even be (unintentionally) pathologized.

If you’re a gay man seeking a therapist who truly gets it, I invite you to explore my practice. I offer complimentary consultations to help you take that first step toward healing, growth, and self-acceptance.
