- 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?

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.
