Please note: This class is not designed to replace medical and/or mental health.

If you are already out of a gay/straight marriage (or relationship) this class can be customized for your current needs. If you are wishing to focus more on your future goals, self esteem, etc. the class activities and homework can be customized to fit your needs. For example, some may be more interested in how to rebuild their life after a straight/gay marriage has ended. Others may have been out of a straight/gay marriage for an extended period of time, yet are looking for a group where someone understands their past. All of you will be welcome in this group. If you have made the decision to remain in your straight/gay marriage (relationship), this workshop is not designed to fit those needs.
Lastly, if you are currently seeing a therapist, I am willing to work in conjunction with your therapist while you are enrolled in the workshop. You and your therapist will need to decide if the workshop is a fit for your needs and I will provide feedback to your therapist. Contact me for further instructions/paperwork if you are currently seeing a therapist.

An Interesting Article.....


Being in the professional mental health field...and a former spouse to a gay husband...I am happy to see this article. I do believe it is a step in the right direction. Regardless of your personal beliefs...I do believe this is a fairly "balanced" article. Please feel free to comment with your own opinion.

"Psychologists repudiate gay-to-straight therapy"
