Who You're Working With
Therapists Who Specialize in Gay Couples. Only Gay Couples.
We didn't build a general therapy practice and add an LGBTQ+ page. The Gay Couples Institute exists for one reason: to give same-sex couples access to the best relationship science available, delivered by people who understand your relationship from the inside.
Alapaki Yee, MFT
Clinical Director, Gay Couples Institute
I've spent my career helping gay couples move through the exact issues you're probably dealing with right now — the distance, the tension, the conversations you keep not having. As Clinical Director, I oversee every aspect of how we work with couples. I also bring something most therapists can't: I've navigated these same dynamics in my own relationship for over 20 years.
Sam Garanzini, MFT, LPCC
Co-Founder, Gay Couples Institute
I've been certified to teach the Gottman Method to other therapists since 2009. When I couldn't find outcome data specifically on same-sex couples, I published it myself — in a peer-reviewed journal. That's the standard we hold ourselves to. When you reach out for help, you deserve an answer backed by real evidence, not just good intentions.
Move from arguments and disconnection to a strong bond and a great sex life — with a clear plan built around how gay relationships actually work.
Why This Works
We Measure Our Results. Nobody Else Does.
Since 2007, we've worked with over 4,000 gay couples and individuals. We are the only couples program — gay or straight — to publish our outcome data in a peer-reviewed academic journal.
Published Outcome Data
In October 2017, we published our results in the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy. Relationship satisfaction scores showed rapid, measurable improvement when couples learned and applied our method.
We didn't cherry-pick the good stories. We published the data.

The Program
A Complete System. Not Just One Piece of the Puzzle.
Most relationship advice teaches one thing — communication, or intimacy, or conflict resolution — and leaves you to figure out the rest yourself. That's why it doesn't stick.
We built a step-by-step program that covers the whole picture: emotional connection, sexual intimacy, communication patterns, and the specific dynamics that show up in gay relationships and almost nowhere else. Couples who go through it come out the other side closer, more confident, and with tools they actually use.
