Gender Therapists List for Transsexuals Transgendered and Crossdressers
International
Gender Therapists List
If
you are like most transsexual and (TG) transgendered people you
may be depressed or have a great deal of anxiety with your condition
or even suicidal thoughts. Transgendered Folks have the highest
incidents of suicide of any groups. Some estimates put the pre-op
suicide rate at 50%.
If
you are (TS) Transsexual you will need a Gender Therapist to guide
you through the process of transition, obtaining hormones and surgery
SRS, GRS for Sex Reassignment. Whether you are MTF, maleto female
or FTM, Female to male a Psychologist makes sense. Most surgeons
follow the HBGDIA
Standards of Care (Adobe
Acrobat Reader) for Transsexuals so a Gender Therapist
is mandatory.
The
following list is a compilation of Gender therapists, Transsexual
therapists and Transgendered therapists both for Male to female
( MTF ) and Female to male (FTM) Transsexuals and (CD) crossdressers.
If
you have a name you can add to the list or someone you can reccomend
please e-mail me ( Laura Amato ) at: laura@lauras-playground.com
. Therapists are welcome to request edits of their listings.
The
list got too big so I had to split it into two lists one for the
United States and an International
list

"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."

"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."
