Gender Identity

What Is Gender Identity Therapy?

Our experienced therapists offer gender identity therapy, also called “gender-affirming therapy,” which is a specialized form of psychological treatment that provides a safe space where you can explore your feelings, concerns, and aspirations related to gender identity. The primary goal is to affirm and support your self-identified gender rather than attempt to change it.

This form of therapy can help you:

• Explore your feelings and experiences related to gender
• Develop a deeper understanding of your gender identity
• Navigate social and personal challenges associated with gender expression
• Make informed decisions about potential medical interventions, if desired
• Build resilience and coping strategies for dealing with gender-related stress

Our gender-affirming therapists are trained in evidence-based approaches to help you navigate the complexities of gender identity. We recognize that every individual’s experience is unique and tailor our approach to meet your specific needs and goals.
