Therapy for Gay Men

Therapy that feels like talking with someone who gets it—because we do.

While Freelife specializes in the care of all LGBTQ+ individuals and relationships, many of our staff have further specialization and lived experience working with gay, bi, and queer men. Research and experience shows us that social expectations of people raised as men can lead to challenges clearly identifying emotions, social challenges, and feeling like there are parts of us that need to be hidden from others. Gay/queer men also have relationships with their bodies and sexualities that are unique from that of other groups.

Couples Counseling for Queer Partners

Therapy for Gay, Bi & Queer Men

For individuals seeking clarity or couples looking to strengthen connections, we create a space for honest conversations and meaningful change.

Men’s Relationships

Gay, bi, and queer men seek sex, love, and connection in ways that are unique to them. Identifying and working openly with these realities can lead to improved feelings of self worth, sexual fulfillment, and relationships that truly meet our needs. Doing this work with the support of a therapist that understands these dynamics professionally and from lived experience can be exceptionally important and helpful. Freelife therapists will help you better understand your needs, desires, and boundaries in relationships with other men and find greater fulfillment in your relationships.

More Than Affirming. We're Part of the Community.

Therapy at Freelife means working with professionals who truly understand your world—because they’ve lived it too. Our therapists don’t just affirm your identity; they share in the experiences, challenges, and nuances that come with being part of the LGBTQ+ community. This shared perspective allows us to provide not only expert guidance but also an authenticity and connection that can only come from genuine understanding. Here, you’re not just seen—you’re deeply understood and supported as you navigate your unique journey.

Therapy at Freelife Behavioral Health is more than addressing challenges—it's about exploring identity, strengthening relationships, and finding peace in your unique journey.

Many gay, bi, and queer men face struggles that can feel isolating, but therapy offers a space to process, heal, and grow. Common experiences we work through include:

  • Navigating Identity: Build confidence and live authentically by exploring who you are.

  • Sexual Shame: Overcome shame tied to your desires and embrace sexual confidence.

  • Relationship Challenges: Improve communication, set boundaries, and navigate dynamics like open or poly relationships.

  • Family and Cultural Expectations: Heal from religious trauma, family conflicts, and guilt.

  • Compulsive Behaviors: Address compulsive behaviors, patterns, or habits in a supportive and nonjudgmental space.

  • Anxiety and Transitions: Build resilience and rediscover purpose during life’s changes.

Wherever you are on your journey, we’re here to help.
