Yes—at First Session, you can filter by therapists who identify as LGBTQIA+ or who specialize in working with queer and gay couples. Many therapists across the lower mainland offer culturally competent support that’s inclusive of your relationship structure, gender identity, and lived experience.

What are the Gottman Method and Solution-Focused Therapy in couples counselling?
The Gottman Method is a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on building friendship, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning in relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy, on the other hand, emphasizes finding practical, short-term strategies to improve specific concerns. You can find therapists in Vancouver trained in both modalities by reviewing their approach on their therapist profile.
