Gender identity

Finding the right therapist when you’re questioning your gender identity or looking for trans-affirming mental healthcare can be difficult. Whether you’re looking for therapy for yourself or seeking services for a child or adolescent, I’m here to provide you with the resources and support to help you move forward.

I’m a trans-identified provider, WPATH member, USPATH committee member, and the author of multiple books on gender identity and mental health. My approach is justice-focused, grounded in empirical research, and centered on the idea that you are the authority on your own gender experiences, even if they don’t sound like everyone else’s. My services include evaluation, individual therapy, family education, referral to community resources, and letters of support for gender-affirming medical treatment.

I also offer short-term evaluations for adults looking to obtain letters of support for gender-affirming hormone therapy and surgery who are not seeking ongoing therapy. Most of these evaluations comprise a single session depending on your history and the type of gender-affirming care you’re seeking. I’m authorized to provide surgery and hormone therapy letters in New York, New Jersey, Nevada, South Carolina, Maine, Vermont, and Florida.

My staff therapists offer the same range of services. They are highly experienced in gender identity exploration and approach treatment through the lens of lived experiences with queer identities.
