Gender Therapists for Transgendered, Transsexual and Crossdressers: Psychologists

U.S. 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 WPATH 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 recommend 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

"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.

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 am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been involved in the transgender community for over 15 years. I first started training with a psychologist who specializes in working with significant others, children and families of transgender people. 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.

"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."

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY: "I was a student of Robert Stoller MD at UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Institute. He did early studies on transsexuals. I also worked with Roger Gorski, who discovered sexually dimorphic nuclei in the brains of mammals. I was a research intern with John Money PhD at Johns Hopkins Psychohormonal Research Unit. He is famous for work with gender different people. I published my dissertation with him "Gender Transposition: a long term follow up study of 32 XY hermaphrodites assigned and reared as females" Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy Fall 1985. I presented that research at the 7th World Congress of Sexology in New Delhi. I became certified as a sex therapist at the UCLA Human Sexuality Program under Joshua Golden PhD. I was a member of the Bay Area Gender Associates, a consulting and supervision group of therapists in San Francisco, with Rebecca Auge, Lin Fraser, and William Henkin. I knew Cheryl Chase before she founded the Intersex Society of North America. I have worked with Riki Wilchins of the Gender Public Advocacy Commission. I have presented several times with Jamison Greene, past president of FTM International. I have been an activist and advocate for sexually different people in media for many years. I have appeared as a guest expert and out intersex person on Oprah, Sally, Montel, Leeza, and many other news and information shows. I have been quoted in just about every magazine that does a story on gender and sexuality. I have done many radio interviews. I have appeared in documentaries for both PBS (XXXY) and Discovery Channel (Is it a Boy or a Girl?) I have been working with sexually different people in psychotherapy for 25 years."

COGDP has been active since 1979 and has many very satisfied graduates. Offers many levels of service including SRS referrals. Great help with self analysis, passing and coming out; facilitates acceptance. Individual & group meetings for the transgendered: pre & post op support. Optional meetings with families and/or spouses of both TV & TS.

Recommendation: She is wonderful. She used the Standards Of Care as guidlines but does not always make you wait a full 3 months for a letter. It depends on each individual. She offers group and individual sessions. I've only seen her 3 times but I can not say enough good things about her. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!! (from Beck)

"Given the growing need for gender specialists and the lack of resources for Texas residents in the more remote areas, I am now offering phone and online therapy sessions for non-local clients. My approach to therapy: My theoretical orientation is a blending of a number of approaches, including feminist, humanist, gestalt, cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and psychodynamic. I view my work with clients as a collaborative process that empowers them rather than one that fosters their dependency upon me. I also situate client difficulties within their sociocultural context, which means that I attend to such factors as sexism, homophobia, transphobia, racism, classism and other societal forces that contribute to human suffering."
