Gay Men’s Therapy Group

Connect, build intimacy, practice communication, and find support in group therapy with other gay men.

As a therapist who works with many gay men and a gay man myself, I know how isolating navigating the world as a gay man can be. If you’re a gay man longing for connection and community, you’re not alone. Gay men face specific challenges when it comes to sex and dating, family relationships, and even friendships. My gay men’s therapy group offers an opportunity to face these challenges with the support of other men who share your identity.

Who is this group for? The gay men’s therapy group is an inclusive, safe space for anyone who identifies as a gay man, including all ages, races, ethnicities, people with disabilities, and any sex assigned at birth. If you self-identify as a gay man, you are welcome.

Why group therapy? Group therapy can offer a unique and supportive alternative or augment to individual therapy where you can feel a sense of belonging and commonality around your most personal and vulnerable struggles. Because the group consists of other gay men who are not therapists, group therapy can help you work on issues like social anxiety, insecurity and self-esteem, and feeling alone in ways that individual therapy isn’t always able to.

What are common topics raised in group? The topics covered in group are brought by the group members themselves and there are no specific topics that are required or off limits. That said, common themes are as follows: sex and dating, loneliness and isolation, community, friendship, family dynamics and issues around acceptance, self-esteem/shame/insecurities, shame compensation behaviors, internalized homophobia, intersectionality of identity (i.e. racism in gay communities), aging and agism.

How do I join? If you are interested in joining the group, please request a free consultation. In this call, I can answer your questions and we can make sure this is the right group for you. After that, we will schedule a one-on-one intake session during which I can get to know you and learn about what you would like to work on in group. After that, we will decide when to bring you into the group.
