"What I love about my work is helping my clients get out of pain,
solve problems, and manifest their true selves. I’m a passionate ally
for transgender folks, working with all sexual orientations and genders,
as well as the kink and poly communities. I ran a Transgender Support
Group for over 2 years, and have provided trainings for providers
and the community on transgender issues since 2003. About 40% of my
clients are trans or intersex youth and adults. I help people cope
with disabilities, and recover from abuse, addictions, and sexual
difficulties. Clients tell me they love my tranquil garden setting,
and appreciate my interactive, results-oriented style. I can help
you heal issues from the past, and resolve present-day problems, using
highly effective holistic techniques like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization
and Reprocessing) and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). I offer both
brief and long-term work with teens, adults, families and couples,
as well as phone sessions for California residents. I have over 30
years experience, and I won Impact Bay Area’s 2007 Healing Advocate
Award. My scent-free ground floor office is near El Cerrito Plaza
BART. To make therapy affordable, I accept Medi-Cal and have a generous
sliding scale, with even lower fees possible for afternoons. I also
offer the option to meet weekly for a month, and then decide together
whether every other week sessions are right for you. Call for a FREE
half hour phone consultation to talk about how I can meet your needs."

The Gender Identity Center of Colorado, Inc., (GIC) is a non-profit
corporation organized in 1978 and incorporated in June 1980. The organization
was formed to provide support to transsexuals, or those people who
cross dress, or are non- traditional in their gender identity. The
Center is also an informational and educational resource to the community
at large. The GIC is available to anyone, male or female, who can
benefit from its services or resources, including spouses and significant
others, parents, and siblings. We provide support to those who are,
or think they may be, transgendered or those who are the significant
others (wives/husbands, boy/girlfriends, or family members) of a person
who is transgender. We have a variety of resources available at the
center from books and magazines to resources in the community to help
everyone, no matter where they fall in the gender spectrum. We do
this by offering several meetings per week from open meetings where
anyone can attend to more focused groups for those in transition,
cross dress or are the significant others of a transgendered person.
We also do our best to protect your identity. We do this by having
some rules that we ask everyone who attends the center to follow.
In order to provide this service, we do ask for nominal door fees
from both members and non-members utilizing our services.

"I currently work at Howard Brown Health Clinic in Chicago. Howard
Brown is the midwest's largest health center serving the Gay, Lesbian,
Bisexual and Transgendered community. feel free to check out our website
at : http://www.howardbrown.org.
I began my work with the Transgendered community during my graduate
training years and my research focused on documenting the gender experiences
of my participants and considering how therapists could be more open
to gender experiences. i have been working with the Trans community
for about 5 years now and enjoy my work very much. I know a lot of
my clients hear of me by word-of-mouth. but, they also report many
attempts to access an understanding and open therapist by looking
online and are frustrated by the small lists for their area and the
typically high costs of private practice therapists. One aspect of
Howard Brown that is especially helpful to my clients is that we offer
a sliding fee scale, which means we match the fee to their income.
So money is no longer a deterrent to access the support that everyone
should be entitled to. In addition, at Howard Brown, I work with a
number of other highly supportive therapists who have experience supporting
the Trans community."

I first started training with a psychologist who specializes in working

I continued with workshops and trainings regarding transgender issues
while working at a small mental health clinic. When I opened my own
practice, I obtained additional extensive training/supervision from
Diane Ellaborn, a seasoned therapist whose practice focuses on transgender
therapy. I also continue to attend trainings on gender issues, read
extensively, and consult with other gender therapist. I am also on
the board of directors of North Shore Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual

"Aside from in-person counseling, I am also starting to offer e-counseling
and phone counseling for people who are unable or not ready to meet
with a therapist in person. I am aware that there are a lot of trans
folks in places (like the military) where they are isolated and do
not have access to a therapist who can help them in their gender journey.
So I’m working on finding ways to make myself accessible to people
that way as well. Affirmative Counseling specializes in providing
therapy which celebrates and supports gender & sexuality diversity.
We provide gender counseling, hormone/surgery recommendation letters,
and support to people who are transgendered, transexual, intersexed,
gender queer or questioning. We offer individual, couple, and family
therapy. Office visits, outreach, telephone counseling and e-counseling."
