I don’t think it’s possible in today’s world to be trans and not experience trauma of some kind. Invalidation comes from so many directions. You just want to be safe being who you really are. You want to be heard and seen. You don’t want the trans experience to be a curiosity to your therapist. You don’t want them to make assumptions about what you want or need. You shouldn’t have to train them.

I would love to work with you. I have worked with a number of trans and non-binary clients. Though I’m always learning, I have done over 60 hours of training in my PhD program to build a foundation in working with trans clients.

I also offer a special fee for trans individuals seeking a letter supporting gender-affirming healthcare. You can contact me with questions.
