Drs. John & Julie Gottman are some of the leading experts in what makes relationships work. While most of their research is focused on cishet relationships, studies have shown that LGBTQIA+ couples benefits just as much, if not more, from the Gottman Approach to Couple's Therapy!

 

 Studies from 2017 looked at the Gottman method on same-sex couples and found that, compared to our cisgender and hetero peers, same-sex couples improved twice as much in fewer sessions!

 

But what is the Gottman Method? It's a type of therapy developed after over 50 years of research with couples and parents. Colby will use the Gottman Connect Assessment to determine where your relationship is struggling and what strengths you already innately have together. We then utilize specific interventions to target the problems in the relationship and use your strengths to improve both intimacy and communication!

Gay Couples might find themselves looking for things to do in Kansas City or for wedding planning might realize that one of the foundations in building a stronger relationship is by starting with couples therapy and marriage prep courses. Let our LGBT therapists help.

Before you book your wedding venue for your gay wedding, consider meeting with one of our talented relational therapists for marriage prep counseling. Weddings can be stressful and overwhelming; it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most: the love you have for each other.

If you and your partner are constantly fighting and bickering, it may be time for you to try out couple’s therapy. Our team of marriage and family therapists are trained to help you navigate relational conflict in ways in which you are both seen and heard.

If there has been an affair or infidelity, couple’s therapy is a great place to heal and find your way back to the person you love.

Maybe you and your partner are exploring polyamory for the first time and need help creating a structure and identifying boundaries to ensure that your relationship to each other is strengthened rather than weakened. Many polyamorous couples find support in relational therapy and can better communicate their feelings, wants, and needs.

If you’re looking for queer and trans-affirming therapists will find that in our team of LGBTQ therapists. KC Character Development prioritizes the needs of our community by providing online therapy. Some of our specialties include internal family systems, attachment, emotion-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and adult children of emotionally immature parents.

Maybe you’re coming into your identity as a gay, queer, or transgender person and you need a safe place to process and explore your gender.

If you find yourself needing a consult for a gender affirming surgical letter, We’ve got that covered, too.
