Support Letters: Readiness for Gender-Affirming Care

As a therapist and a human, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all individuals, and advocating for equality at all levels of injustice. My practice is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their sexual orientation, physical sex, or gender identity.

LGBTQIA+ individuals often face significant harm from political actions and policies that undermine their rights and well-being. These political attacks have been especially harmful to the transgender and gender-diverse community. I strive to help my clients navigate these challenges, and foster a sense of empowerment and resilience.

Readiness Assessments: What to Expect

My top priority is to be a steppingstone on your journey, not a barrier or a hoop to jump through. You will not be required to “prove” your gender to me in any way, and you are not required to stay in treatment until you achieve perfect mental health stability (as if such a thing exists).

Readiness Assessments are a process of informed consent. My job is to walk through all of the options, details, risks, and benefits of the medical treatment you are seeking. This includes exploring how it may impact your interpersonal relationships and any current mental health symptoms.

Treatment duration is dependent on individual need, but there is no required number of sessions. If you’ve done your research and understand all of your options, this process can go very quickly. I will do my best to work with you on your timeline and not delay your access to this important, life-saving healthcare.
