Look No Further for LGBTQIA+ Couples Counseling Near Portland, OR

As with any relationship, LGBTQIA+ partners experience challenges from time to time. That might be the usual communication breakdowns, financial stress, intimacy struggles, or differing life goals. Plus, queer couples may face added layers of complexity from societal pressures and the impact of discrimination. LGBTQIA+ couples counseling sessions at True Course Counseling provide a safe, inclusive space to address all of these and more. Our team is thrilled to support partners across Portland, Oregon, in creating healthier, more connected relationships through high-quality mental health care.

A Space for Any and All Forms of Relationship Counseling

As an LGBTQIA+ affirming practice, we recognize and honor the diverse ways people form and maintain relationships. Our counselors are supportive of ENM (ethically non-monogamous) relationships, polyamorous dynamics, and other nontraditional partnerships. Whether you’re dating, cohabiting, engaged, or long-term partners, therapy will tailored to your unique lifestyle. Turn to us for help with:

Communication struggles and conflict resolution
Intimacy and trust repair
Life transitions, such as career shifts, parenting, or relocation
Balancing individual needs with shared goals
Processing the effects of societal stigma, family rejection, or minority stress
Supporting identity exploration and affirmation within the relationship

Using evidence-based approaches such as Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we guide couples through exercises to deepen their emotional connection, improve communication skills, and rebuild trust, if needed. Our LGBTQIA+ couples counseling sessions emphasize collaboration, ensuring all participants feel seen, valued, and respected.

“I enjoy Megan's open mind and also how she never seems frustrated or unhappy when it takes me several rambling sentences to try to get to a point. She also asks excellent follow up to clarify things and does not appear annoyed when she asks if I am talking about feeling X, and I have to say no, it is more like Y. I feel respected even when talking about very difficult things.”

“To me, Megan takes into consideration what is important in my life, and instead of suggesting removing things that are meaningful but difficult, makes suggestions on lowering my stress around those things. When she does see my growth, which is often harder for me to see, she will point out how I may have reacted to a situation or trigger a year or two ago, and then helps me see for myself the growth in my reaction, my boundaries, etc”
