Gender Identity

​Although the transgender community continues to grow, integrate, and gain support, coming out and transitioning can still be a very complex challenge depending on the landscape of one’s life.  Therapy for those who seek it is geared toward removing barriers to transition goals, ensuring safety, educating family, and connecting with other medical providers such as endocrinologists and surgeons.  Treating any mental health issues that may co-occur will be important, but because of the unique challenges that transgender or gender-non conforming individuals already face, these additional issues are not required to be present in order for a person to benefit from speaking with a professional.
