Are you a gay man who is trying to reduce conflict in your relationship? Do you have concerns about sexual frequency or performance/satisfaction? Do you want help in how to grow your career/income, cope with workplace stress, gain self-confidence in sex and dating, or cope with a medical or psychiatric challenge (depression, anxiety, ADD, OCD, PTSD)? Support for healing from a traumatic experience (violent crime, illness, accident), or recovering from difficult past experiences in your Family of Origin or past relationships? Recover from substance issues? I help gay men with all of these issues and more in my long (32 years) career.
I specialize in working exclusively with gay male individuals, couples, and polycules, for over 30 years. I help gay men reduce anxiety and improve self-confidence to learn and implement solutions to the problems that affect your quality of life now, and for life ahead, for yourself and for your relationships. I can help you reduce stress in your life.
Too many guys suffer in silence or isolation, for too long. Reaching out is the first step. Sessions are available Monday through Friday, afternoons/evenings, through Telehealth (phone/webcam). Let's work together to make change. Visit my website at GayTherapyLA.com/blog, or my "Gay Therapy LA with Ken Howard, LCSW, CST" podcast, with over 140 episodes.
