Whether you're navigating conflict, disconnection, or a big transition, our queer-affirming therapists create a safe space for you and your partner(s) to grow together.
Learn About Couples Therapy
LGBTQ couples counseling is a space where you and your partner(s) can explore your relationship dynamics in a nonjudgmental, identity-affirming environment. And in a city like New York, that kind of space matters. The pace of NYC life—the long commutes, packed schedules, constant stimulation—can make it hard to slow down and really connect.
Maybe you're facing a rough patch, feeling stuck in communication loops, or simply want to reconnect more intentionally. Our therapists are here to support your process with care, nuance, and zero judgment. We center LGBTQIA+ experiences and offer a collaborative, trauma-informed, relational approach to help you strengthen trust, intimacy, and understanding.
Start LGBTQ Couples Counseling Today
At Expansive Therapy, we provide LGBTQIA+ couples in NYC with affirming support that acknowledges the complexities of queer love.
You might be navigating a new relationship milestone, working through power dynamics, or balancing different cultural or identity-based stressors. We’re here to help you sort through it all.
Expansive Therapy is 100% queer-owned and most of our therapists are LGBTQ identified. We have trained with the best in the field and want to bring that quality of work to your sessions, online from anywhere in the state, or in-person. Our Midtown Manhattan office is easily accessible from Penn Station and Herald Square, and for those who prefer flexibility, we also offer virtual sessions throughout New York State.
No two couples come to therapy with the same story, and that’s exactly how we approach our work. Sessions are tailored to your needs and relationship dynamics—monogamous, polyamorous, queerplatonic, or otherwise. Your therapist will co-create a space where both (or all) partners feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow together.
Here’s what you can expect:
A therapist trained in LGBTQIA+ affirming, relational therapy
Space for each partner’s voice to be heard and respected
Practical tools for communication, boundaries, and repair
Support for polyamorous, open, or nontraditional relationship dynamics
A collaborative, nonjudgmental approach
Your sessions are yours and we'll work with you to co-create the structure and pace that fits your relationship best.

Why Clients Choose Expansive Therapy NYC for LGBTQ Couples Counseling
At Expansive Therapy, we know how hard it can be to find couples counseling that actually understands gay, queer, and trans relationships. Whether you’re navigating communication breakdowns, intimacy shifts, or identity exploration within your relationship, we’re here to hold space for all of it.
Our NYC location is designed for real life: just a short subway ride from Brooklyn, the Bronx, or the West Village, and a 5-minute walk from Penn Station. That means you don’t have to add travel stress to an already vulnerable process. Prefer to skip the train altogether? We also offer online sessions, so you can connect with your therapist from your shared couch (or separate apartments. No judgment here).
Clients choose us because we’re not one-size-fits-all. We’re nuanced, affirming, and deeply invested in helping LGBTQ+ couples thrive in the city we all call home.
"My partner and I worked with [our therapist] for couple’s therapy. She is the most kind, patient, and gracious therapist we’ve ever had. She also listened intently and pushed us to be more reflective of our relationship in the most helpful ways. Because of her, we were able to become better partners to each other and are even planning on getting married. We would recommend her to anyone!"

We believe therapy should be accessible from the start, including the financial details. Expansive Therapy is an out-of-network provider working with most PPO and POS insurance plans, and we do all the heavy lifting for you so you can focus on therapy.
Before your first session, our admin team confirms your benefits and provides a clear, easy-to-read breakdown. After you begin therapy, we take care of claim submissions and denials so you can stay focused on your care.
Session rates range from $50 to $300 depending on your insurance coverage and therapist’s experience level. Whether you’re based in DUMBO, Midtown East, or South Slope, our admin team is standing by ready to guide you through the process.
