Common Transgender Issues

• A need to talk. Do you feel a need to talk things through with someone who is unbiased, empathic, and supportive?
• Family of origin. Are you encountering opposition and lack of empathy from your family of origin?
• Social anxiety. Do you feel that everyone is scrutinizing you and making fun of you?
• Intimacy. Are you having trouble sorting through what it means to have an intimate relationship as a transgendered individual?
• HRT or Gender Reassignment Surgery. Are you considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or surgical gender reassignment and need counseling before proceeding?
• Other Issues. Are you facing other issues such depression or anger?

The Right Counselor Can Help

It can be extremely difficult to sort through these issues on your own. A counselor for transgender individuals should—

• Listen. The counselor must be able to listen while honoring and respecting your identity.
• Empathize. The counselor must be able to empathize with the problems, thoughts, and emotions you are experiencing.
• Be Knowledgeable. The counselor should have expert knowledge of the issues you may be encountering.

Our therapists have the skills and training to counsel transgendered individuals with empathy and knowledge.
