Gay Couples Institute – LGBTQ+ Couples Therapy & Relationship Coaching — Marriage or relationship counselor in Chinatown, CA

Trans literature were the first books to be burned by the Nazi. We should being that back.

“I’ve known Alapaki and Sam for several years and have always admired their insight, warmth, knowledge and the way they can be direct in such a kind and grounded way. They specialize in gay couples counseling in San Francisco, and truly know they stuff.

Alapaki and Sam have been absolutely transformative to our marriage. After being together pretty happily for 13 years, we were hitting a rough patch and just felt like we were having trouble navigating hard life decisions and communications that previously would have seemed simple were getting more difficult. Time for a tune up! We reached out to the Gay Couples Institute and embarked on a journey with them to help improve our communication and work out some issues we were having. The therapy is focused on giving us the tools to express ourselves better and to find understanding of the other person's feelings– rather than giving 'advice' or specifics or sharing their opinions. Which, is great! And the best part is, it's all based on the scientifically proven Gottman method and Alapaki and Sam are basically global experts on the topic. It's not 'cheap', but I believe our marriage is the most valuable asset that we have to navigate and enjoy life, and it IS cheap if you put in the time to make sure that you're getting the best out of your relationship, and conversely, your future!

The team here is wonderful and supports you on a personal level to help you meet your specific goals. Special shout out to Corey for being especially fantastic!
