I don't believe the sexuality of the therapist is as imporant as how they treat you as a whole person.
The therapist who helped me to come to terms with my sexuality the most just so happened to be a Southern Baptist!
That's right, I said a Southern Baptist, and I Chit You Not ... !!!
I'm so thankful I didn't know this early on in the process, otherwise I'd have made a snap judgment about her based on all I'd heard from the gay community about "those people" and would have missed out on the most healing part of my whole journey.
With that being said, if the particular therapist you're seeing isn't a good fit for you, then it's time to find one that is.
Regardless of the therapist's sexuality, it's important to work with someone who treats you as a whole person ... One that doesn't make you feel as if you are somehow defective, wrong or icky just because you so happen to be gay.
Sincerely,
Pfrog
