Ecko Ashmore, AMFT
It is difficult being in a long term committed relationship. The LGBT community will face all of the issues couples in counseling face. Social issues, friendships, the need for self-care and support systems are all issues that bring people to couples and individual counseling. The LGBT community will also need to manage social prejudice, coming out anxiety, and at times maybe even feel like a burden to close family and friends. Making it through all of the ups and downs will require a strong social support system. Ecko Ashmore will provide solid LGBT affirmative counseling and support and uses a unique craft of therapy, paying attention to unique strengths of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or questioning. Ecko will create a specific focus on what you are experiencing and help you work toward your vision of the life you are trying to create.
