Gay, Lesbian & Bisexual Counseling of Seattle
We are Kathy Carroll, M.Ed. and Mac Partlow, M.A. We have been friends since forever and Seattle counselors for about as long. Even more important, we have been human beings dealing with the GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender) spin on relationships, work, life and family since before disco went retro (yes, we really are that old - but not a word!). We are here to help- not to judge. Not only is judging unhelpful, as fellow human beings who have been through a lot of what you are going through, we are simply not in a place to do that.
They say that "Good Judgment Comes From Bad Experiences". On that basis alone, we should be Living Buddha's, but we're not. What our own personal histories have given us is a passion to help other folks with the GLBT flavor to the following issues:
- Being a GLBT Parent In a Relationship or as a Single Parent.
- Boundaries, Communication and Conflict Skills
- Coming-Out/Customizing My Sexuality
- Coming Out Early in Life Versus Coming Out Later in Life.
- Coming Out from a Heterosexual Identity and/or Relationship
- Coming Out from an Institutional Setting such as the Military, Prison or Structured Religious Setting
- Existential and Spirituality Issues
- GLBT Focus Groups
- GLBT Blended Families
- Having a Career and Having a Life
- Love Versus Lust/Infatuation Versus Investment
- Normal/Symptomatic/Addictive-Compulsive Behaviors and Substances
- Panic Attacks
- Socialization, Community Building and Dating Skills
- Stress/Anxiety/Depression
