Therapy for Bisexuals

Are you met with any of these myths:

  • There is no such thing as bisexuality
  • Bisexuality is a phase - on the way to gay.
  • Men are either gay or straight
  • Bisexual people are more likely to be unfaithful
  • You can't identify as bisexual if you've never been in a same-sex relationship
  • Bi people don't experience any hardship because they can "pass" as straight
  • If you are with a partner of one gender, you are not bisexual
  • You are just confused

Sadly many bisexual people are met with some of these myths even in an affirming therapy practice. Bi-invisibility and bi-erasure can make even therapy feel unsafe. You deserve a therapist that is familiar with the experiences of your life. If you are looking for a unique therapist that can understand your unique perspective I encourage you to contact me using the contact form below.

You deserve community

You deserve acknowledgement of all you are in therapy not as a pathway to something else, but as a meaningful full life.

Many see bi-sexuality as a transit zone between straight and gay.

Many misunderstand the connections between echoes of abuse and attractions - the desire for competence and desire - and how you can have both. It takes a knowledgable, accepting, trauma informed and well equipped resourceful therapist to help you sort it all through.

If any of this rings true for you - reach out to me to start therapy today.

Many can't conceptualize the values of a religious faith and bi-sexuality and perhaps ethical non-monogamy. If you need the support to sort this through, reach out to me and start therapy today. =
