Our practice is dedicated to supporting transgender, gender nonconforming, and non-binary individuals in their right to live rich, affirming lives. We recognize and honor the diversity of gender identities and expressions, and we strive to provide a safe, respectful, and empowering environment for all clients.

​

We follow the informed consent model for gender affirmative care. This means we center your lived experience and self-knowledge as essential guideposts in your care, and we strongly support your right to exercise autonomy in making healthcare decisions.

 

Our gender care services include:

​

• Gender-affirmative psychotherapy: We offer individual therapy tailored to your unique needs and experiences. Therapy may focus on topics such as exploring and affirming your gender identity, navigating coming out or social transition, building resilience in the face of discrimination or minority stress, managing relationships and family dynamics, and supporting mental health and well-being.

• Documentation in support of gender affirming medical procedures: We provide letters and documentation for gender affirming medical interventions, such as hormone therapy or gender-affirming surgeries, in accordance with the informed consent model and current standards of care.

• Referral to gender-affirmative medical care: We can connect you with medical providers who are knowledgeable and affirming of gender diverse individuals, ensuring you have access to comprehensive and respectful healthcare.

 

In therapy, you may wish to focus on a variety of topics, including but not limited to:

​

• Navigating gender identity exploration and expression

• Coping with experiences of transphobia, discrimination, or marginalization

• Building self-acceptance and resilience

• Managing anxiety, depression, or trauma

• Strengthening relationships with family, partners, and community
