Are you interested in exploring your relationship with gender?
Are you in the “what am I” phase?
Are you having trouble accepting yourself as you recover from society’s restrictive teachings about gender?
Are you worrying about losing people as you come out?
Our gender therapists are here to help you navigate your gender identity journey.
Gender therapy can be helpful for anyone who feels confined by traditional gender roles.
Our focus will always be to help you move towards self-affirmation and empowerment.
Gender Exploration and You
There’s a lot to unpack when we examine our personal relationship to gender. You’ve received strong messages from your family, culture, and society that have shaped your understanding.
Most of those messages don’t fit. We will support you in finding the gender expression that resonates with you.
With support from a gender therapist you’ll explore gender affirmation in a safe space. You’ll cultivate experiences that bring you gender affirmation.
You’ll examine how your gender identity intersects with other aspects of your identity such as race, ethnicity, sexuality, or ability.
You’ll explore your own relationship with your body.
And you’ll receive strategies for dealing with people who don’t get it when it comes to expansive gender expression.
Gender Therapy for Couples
As one or both members of a couple begin the process of redefining their relationship to gender, couples often confront some new challenges.
In our experience, some of the common relationship questions that can arise are:
How will our attraction and our sex life be impacted?
How do I manage feeling like I miss aspects of my partner’s former identity?
Is our disconnected feeling related to gender issues or something else?
How can we support each other when we are both going through a lot?
In couples counseling these difficult conversations can help couples reach the next level of intimacy and to expand their communication skills. What can feel like a relationship crisis at the beginning of couples counseling often becomes the catalyst to make your relationship stronger than ever.
Most of all, couples counseling offers a powerful opportunity for couples to process vulnerable feelings they previously avoided discussing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gender Therapy
Is Gender Therapy Expensive?
The honest answer is yes. Our fees range from $185 – $250 per session. If your insurance covers “out of network” care, you can get reimbursed for a significant portion of the fee. We are not “in network” with any insurance company.
Can you write me the required letters for hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgery?
We write letters in the context of therapeutic work. Therefore, if you are looking for a therapist who will meet with you once and provide you with a letter, we are not a good choice for you.
Do you work with non-binary folks?
Yes. Whether you define yourself as non-binary, transgender, gender-fluid, agender, intersex, androgyne, or “I’m not sure,” we will offer you affirmative care.
