Couples Therapy for LGBTQIA2+ and Queer Couples

Where Your Relationship Can Show Up Fully and Feel Truly Seen

Are you and your partner feeling disconnected or unseen in your relationship? Have past experiences of rejection, prejudice, or heteronormative expectations left you struggling to feel safe or understood—even with each other? Maybe you're navigating open communication, family acceptance, intimacy, or identity within your relationship as LGBTQIA2+ or queer partners.

At Attached Counseling, we specialize in couples therapy for queer and LGBTQIA2+ relationships. Emily Jurich LMFT-Associate, RMFTI (she/her) is not only trained in affirmative therapy - she’s also a member of the community herself. She understands firsthand the nuance, resilience, and tenderness required to navigate life and love as a sexual and/or gender minority.

You deserve a therapist who affirms your relationship, not one who filters it through a heteronormative lens. This is a space where your love is valid, your identities are respected, and your bond matters.

Whether you're healing from relational ruptures, unpacking internalized messages, managing family or cultural rejection, or wanting to deepen your emotional connection, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Together, we’ll explore the dynamics that get in the way and build a more secure, loving connection rooted in authenticity and emotional safety.

Emily offers virtual LGBTQIA2+ couples therapy for clients across Florida and Texas, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, and Dallas–Fort Worth. Choose a therapist who truly gets it — and who can help you and your partner reconnect and thrive.

Let’s create a relationship where both of you feel seen, safe, and supported. Book a free consultation today.

At Attached Counseling, we want to help you embrace your authentic self.

Our Approach is Different

Are you exhausted from seeing therapists who don’t really get your relationship? Have you felt dismissed by advice that doesn’t reflect your lived experience as a queer couple? At Attached Counseling, we specialize in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) for LGBTQIA2+ and queer partners—because your relationship deserves more than a one-size-fits-all, heteronormative approach.

Emily Jurich, a queer-affirming therapist and member of the LGBTQIA2+ community herself, knows the importance of feeling truly seen. Whether you're navigating gender transitions, family rejection, internalized shame, or simply struggling to connect emotionally, we create a space where both of you can show up fully—without fear of judgment.

Through the lens of Emotionally Focused Therapy, we help couples break out of painful cycles of disconnection and learn how to reach for each other in moments of conflict or vulnerability. You’ll gain tools to strengthen your emotional bond, deepen intimacy, and create lasting trust—even in a world that hasn’t always celebrated your love.

We proudly serve couples across Florida and Texas, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Dallas, and the DFW Metroplex, offering secure and confidential virtual couples therapy that meets you where you are—literally and emotionally.

What Growth Can Look Like for Couples in Therapy

In couples counseling at Attached Counseling, change begins with safety—finally being able to speak your truth and feel understood. As we work together, you and your partner may begin to:

  • Feel more emotionally connected and secure in your relationship

  • Understand and shift the negative patterns that keep you stuck

  • Communicate your needs with clarity, softness, and vulnerability

  • Heal from attachment injuries, infidelity, or emotional ruptures

  • Rebuild trust after conflict, distance, or external stressors

  • Navigate identity shifts, family rejection, or transitions with greater unity

  • Cultivate deeper intimacy and resilience in the face of outside pressures

And yes—some parts of this process may feel hard. Real emotional growth often stirs discomfort before it brings relief. But that discomfort is the beginning of healing, and we’ll be with you every step of the way.

You don’t have to do this alone—and your relationship doesn’t have to stay stuck.
