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, male to 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

Some individuals have never been able to talk to anyone about their feelings and want to understand and explore more fully how to express themselves.

Video of Montel Appearance & Gender Page
"I work primarily by Skype and phone. I'm a gender therapist in private practice with over 11 years of clinical experience working with the cross dressing and transgender communities (transsexual - FTM, MTF, transmen, transwomen, androgyne, intersexed, gender dysphoric children and their parents, spouses, partners, children, families and friends). I am a published author on the topic of gender and sexuality. I have appeared on Montel, CBS News on Logo, Sirius Satellite Radio, Blog Talk Radio, in print and online about gender and sexuality issues. I am affiliated with the Los Angeles Gender Center and was part of their core staff for three years. I am listed on the respected Dr. Becky’s List. Besides, being a psychotherapist, I am also a Dr. of Pharmacy. This unique background allows me to integrate both medical and mental health approaches for comprehensive treatment to health and wellness. My mission is to help cross dressing and transgender persons be their true selves and thrive in a sometimes insensitive world. People with gender issues who have the worst outcomes are those who've been chastised, or fear being chastised, by those closest to them for being different. Suffering comes from other people’s reactions to them being transgender, not from being transgender itself. I view gender identity as natural to a person from birth and view any desire to 'fix' it as a medical issue, not a psychological, social, or moral one. I wish to help change trans-negative experiences for cross dressers and transgender people by helping them embrace and come out as they are, 'transition' to who they are, and help others affirm them as they are. Gender is a complex issue. I honor the whole person, treating their situation comprehensively in the full context of their life, not a single issue. It’s my goal to: alleviate suffering and personal discomfort around sensitive gender issues, enhance self-acceptance and esteem, empower you to be your true self by coming out, transitioning (if appropriate), and encouraging personal growth, improving relationships, and changing our toxic social atmosphere regarding gender. Through my work, I’ve come to the conclusion that we’re all born our true selves. But the accumulation of negative life experiences over time can have a way of eclipsing our true self. Adverse events occurring early in life can have a disproportionate impact on our adult lives. Our true nature always lies inside. But it can get buried, blocked, or walled off to protect itself from more pain. As a result of such unfortunate experiences and barriers, we get disconnected from our true selves and in our relationships with others. My goal is for you to cultivate a healthy, authentic relationship with yourself and others. Nothing is more important. In fact, a rich and ever-growing amount of research supports the idea that having a sense of connection with self and others is at the heart of creating a happy, fulfilling, and successful life. Did you know that both depression and isolation each carry more risk for early death than smoking! Having walked the walk (I am a survivor of long-term childhood sexual abuse), I believe in resilience, in healing life’s challenges, and reclaiming our true selves. So much so, that I’ve made it my life’s work to usher others along this path. Believing that all people are one, connected, and part of a world community, I believe in transcending geographical boundaries and enjoying a 'without borders' lifestyle. While life may have us in different places at different times, you can continue to work with me wherever you are – online via Skype, by phone, or we can arrange I come to you in person. Of course, we can also meet face to face if we’re in the same area. My schedule is generally six months in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (Nov 15-May 15) with a month hiatus in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (usually some part of Feb/March), and six months in the US (May 15-Nov 15): Boston, New York City, South Florida, Wilmington NC, and the Southwest (CA, NV, UT, AZ)."

"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.

Since 2006, I have been working with individuals who identify as transgender, primarily Female to Male. I feel my primary purpose in working with such clients is to support the decisions they make about their identities and transitions, as well as help them find confidence in themselves and their choices. I believe that most individuals seeking therapy for gender issues and possibly pursuing transition can benefit from exploring their inherent strengths and resources, as well as addressing any distressing symptoms that arise from this difficult process. I also work with transgender youth; assisting both the transgender/gender nonconforming child and their families.

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.

Requested removal from CO list as she has now moved to CA to start a doctoral program (to study effectively counseling with transgender youth) but is unable to accept clients at this time. She has however requested her blog be listed as it may help trans youth and their families. Tho she has moved to CA, I am listing her still in CO so those whom may have sought her from this list for therapy will know where she has gone to and why.

I am a Life Coach Gender Specialist working with individuals within the full gender spectrum. My approach is not diagnostic, but emphasizing on the medical model that offers the individual skills and tools to better their internal sense of self. I am most happy to work with the individual’s existing psychotheraputic or medical team or will refer individuals out to the appropriate medical and/or helping professionals if an existing psychological issue needs to be addressed. My work concentrates on the individual’s ability to gender develop. I also provide psychoeducation to family, support members, schools, businesses… for transgender awareness, issues and specific complications that impact this cohort through their developmental process and beyond.
*
Internships were completed at the Institute of Living, Rushford Center and Wheeler Clinic. On going projects include : creating courses/curriculum in transgenderism/transsexualism; workshops, seminars and training for the medical/helping professions and organizations, businesses; providing education and awareness within the transgender / transsexual / transvestic communities; and establishing trans aware/friendly medical environments. Organizations include the WPATH, ACA and the APA Div. 44 Task Force. A variety of personal services are offered such as feminization programs that assist MtFs in their physical development. One program such as "Being Femme" offers aesthetic/image skills. This program helps individuals learn to work WITH their body type, age group and features all the while building confidence and self-esteem to help acclimate and move forward with their life aims and goals.
*
Groups for couples and families are conducted monthly as well. Traditional "face to face" appointments, phone sessions and interactive web counseling is also available.

Chief Consulting Psychiatrist for the Greenwich, Connecticut Board of Education. Works with Adolescents and adults. "I try to work closely with the parents within the boundaries of confidentiality. I also have frequent family meetings. I also started a small TG group. We meet Saturday afternoons in my office in Westport, CT. I love this work and it has become the focus of my Psychiatry practice. I have to add that my fees are considerable. Because I am very dedicated to my patients I spend much more time helping them in addition to scheduled appointments. There are frequent phone calls, emails, texts, Skyping etc that go on as well as emergencies. Because of this extensive involvement my current patients are working on retainer with me. That is, the family pays $9500.00 on retainer to start treatment. Every 30-45 days I give them a PAID IN FULL invoice showing all patient contacts. This invoice can be submitted for insurance reimbursement. When the retainer gets down to $2000.00 it is replenished to the original amount since I like to leave $2000.00 at all times for wind up and eventual termination of treatment."

Those who are struggling with gender identity issues, are confused about their sexual identity, or who are lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, or transgendered are often challenged by social judgment and bias. They are sometimes ostracized by their families or friends and can feel lonely, depressed, and isolated. Many LGBT clients face self-loathing, fears, withdrawal, relationship issues and other difficulties. In some cases, the person is unsure of his or her sexual identity. Another frightening problem in the LGBT community is suicide. The suicide rate is typically higher in the LGBT community when compared to the heterosexual community and exponentially higher if the person's family turns them away. These individuals may be at significant risk.

"Telephone Counseling works well for many individuals, especially those living in areas where there are no therapists. I am Knowledgeable about this subject .. have worked successfully with transgendered clients in Alaska, Kansas, Tennessee, and many other states. Please contact me to explore this option. I have been supporting and working with transgendered individuals for several years. I facilitates a counseling group in Ft. Lauderdale that is open to anyone who wants to learn more about themselves or a loved one. I provide individual therapy for those people whose pain has become overwhelming, those who are transitioning, and those who have transitioned but are still in need of counseling and support. Some individuals are accepting of themselves but need help coping with their friends and families, who may have difficulty accepting that this is the same person they have always loved and cared about. Some transitioning people need to work with a therapist who will be able to write letters in order to obtain hormones, get a name change, be accepted at work, or have sex reassignment surgery. Some individuals have never been able to talk to anyone about their feelings and want to understand and explore more fully how to express themselves."

"I’m starting a new group for transgender women and men who have decided not to transition yet: When considering transition, the individual must take into account the impact on many aspects of life: marriage, family, career, health, finances, etc. Some decide that transitioning is not the right path and/or the right time to proceed. The purpose of the group is for individuals who are not transitioning to come together and share in a safe, secure, respectful, and caring environment facilitated by a mental health professional who has experience working with transgender persons. An individual screening session with the facilitator will be required to ensure the confidentiality and to determine if this group is a good fit. The group meets monthly every second Friday of each month."

"I'm a Canadian transplant living in Atlanta whose been in practice almost 20 years. I'm a professional member of WPATH and have worked with TransYouth and Family Allies (TYFA). I specialize in helping people imagine and create richer, more fulfilling lives, and deeper, more satisfying relationships. If we team up, I will work with you flexibly and even playfully, incorporating techniques and approaches that have proven effective. I will encourage you to couple your insight with action so you can work out creative solutions. I will respect your right to decide what is good for you, based on your truths. I work with trans-identified/gender non-conforming youth (I've worked with kids as young as 3) as well as adults. I am available to work with clients remotely by using a HIPAA-compliant video service, But current Georgia psychology licensing laws restrict me to working only with individuals living in Georgia where I am licensed. Find answers I've penned relating to gender identity, among other things, online at HeathTap (http://www.healthtap.com). Also, please find me on Twitter @DrAnaATL"

Chief Consulting Psychiatrist for the Greenwich, Connecticut Board of Education. Works with Adolescents and adults. "I try to work closely with the parents within the boundaries of confidentiality. I also have frequent family meetings. I love this work and it has become the focus of my Psychiatry practice. I have to add that my fees are considerable.. Because I am very dedicated to my patients I spend much more time helping them in addition to scheduled appointments. There are frequent phone calls, emails, texts, Skyping etc that go on as well as emergencies. Because of this extensive involvement my current patients are working on retainer with me. That is, the family pays $9500.00 on retainer to start treatment. Every 30-45 days I give them a PAID IN FULL invoice showing all patient contacts. This invoice can be submitted for insurance reimbursement. When the retainer gets down to $2000.00 it is replenished to the original amount since I like to leave $2000.00 at all times for wind up and eventual termination of treatment."
Has offices in Hawaii, Connecticut and New York.

"I work with transgender clients who may be dealing with anxiety, depression, or adjustment issues surrounding the various challenges they face in their lives. These challenges might include typical problems that would bring anyone to therapy, as well as those that may stem from understanding/accepting their gender identity and expression, or coping with relational or societal difficulties commonly faced by transgender and gender variant people. I adhere to the APA's guidelines (policies) regarding non-discrimination of transgendered individuals. For the most part, my goal is to provide a supportive environment in which my clients can work through difficulties in their lives, make healthy and appropriate decisions for themselves, and live life in the happiest and most meaningful way possible."

"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 counseling psychologist who works with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I specialize in working with gender/transgender identity and sexual orientation. I work with individuals to explore their identity and support them in expressing their identity in the way that they choose. If transition is desired, I provide pre, during, and post-op psychotherapy and provide letters for hormone therapy and SRS. In addition to working with LGBT individuals, I also work with families and loved ones who may be struggling when a family member 'comes out' or transitions."

"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."

In my private practice, I offer psychotherapy and medication management in a comfortable, private office on McLean's grounds. I have worked with transgendered, transsexual, and gender non-conforming individuals for more than ten years. My clinical work is informed by WPATH guidelines and my training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, DBT, and MBT. I deeply enjoy supporting people through the journey of exploring, understanding, affirming, and celebrating their gendered selves. This work can involve a consultation to an on-going psychotherapy, medication management, or more intensive gender therapy. After appropriate consultation, I am happy to write a letter in support of medical or surgical gender affirmation treatments. Please note that I am currently an "out-of-network" provider for all major insurance companies. I invite you to explore my website to learn more about my practice.

Currently, I am the only AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist in Grand Rapids, Michigan so I'm interested in finding more ways to let people know I'm out here. This is especially important to me as this is a very conservative community where people identifying as LBGTQ and Intersexed are often subjected to discrimination, oppression, and abuse. Unfortunately around here, finding safe, nurturing spaces can sometimes be difficult.

"I welcome the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning population. Homosexuality is not a problem that must be cured, but there are challenges unique to people with alternate lifestyles. I can help people come out to loved ones, deal with harassment or merely discuss relationships without having to change the pronoun. I have advocated for transgender clients who have chosen to make transitions, and those who have decided to not make full transitions. I have run a support group for Male to Female (MtF) individuals, using psychodramatic action methods."

"I am particularly sensitive to the needs of crossdressers. Over the course of a lifetime the desire to crossdress can go up and down in cycles. People often seek counseling when this desire becomes so intense that it distracts them from other responsibilities; when it creates conflicts in their relationships; or if they are questioning the meaning of the crossdressing in their lives."

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."

Chief Consulting Psychiatrist for the Greenwich, Connecticut Board of Education. Works with Adolescents and adults. "I try to work closely with the parents within the boundaries of confidentiality. I also have frequent family meetings. I love this work and it has become the focus of my Psychiatry practice. I have to add that my fees are considerable.. Because I am very dedicated to my patients I spend much more time helping them in addition to scheduled appointments. There are frequent phone calls, emails, texts, Skyping etc that go on as well as emergencies. Because of this extensive involvement my current patients are working on retainer with me. That is, the family pays $9500.00 on retainer to start treatment. Every 30-45 days I give them a PAID IN FULL invoice showing all patient contacts. This invoice can be submitted for insurance reimbursement. When the retainer gets down to $2000.00 it is replenished to the original amount since I like to leave $2000.00 at all times for wind up and eventual termination of treatment."

For adults who grew up forced to hide their true identity, the processing of "coming out" can be very difficult and frightening. Many fear rejection from friends and family, as well as retaliation at work or school. Often this process can feel very lonely unless they are able to find a support system that understands what they are experiencing and encourages their decision to come out. If you are in the process of coming out or transitioning you may feel overwhelmed. Try to surround yourself with people who love and care about you. If you are already in the process of transitioning or have lived as your true gender for a while, it can still be difficult to be a member of a group so often discriminated against. If you identify as transgender, or don't feel like you fit into your assigned gender and would like more information about counseling with me, please feel free to contact me. If you were abused as a child, you are not alone! An estimated 20% of adults in America experienced abuse as a child. Being abused affects everyone in different ways, but many survivors of abuse experience some similar things. Some of the most common reactions to abuse are: Not believing it happened (denial), Denying that it affected you, (minimizing), Trouble trusting people, Feeling unsafe, Feeling worthless, Feeling damaged or like something is wrong with you, Having a hard time, establishing healthy relationships, Difficulties with emotions - can be too intense or you numb yourself to them, Feeling disconnected or tuning out of life (dissociation), Drug, alcohol or other addictive behaviors, Thoughts of suicide. If you are ready to see a counselor to begin healing from you abuse, please feel free to contact me.

"I am a licensed out gay male therapist in Memphis TN. I have been in practice for 8 years, and have focused my practice on the GLBT community, addressing such issues as depression, anxiety, addiction, relationships, and coming out. During that time I have assisted over a dozen transgender persons with the transition process, and many of those have been referred to me by previous clients. I fully subscribe to the WPATH guidelines. I understand that, as guidelines, they are to interpreted with flexibility according to the client's current stage of transition and psychological readiness to advance toward their chosen final goal. I also understand that transition is not the same as therapy. I help the client address emotional issues as appropriate if that will foster a smoother transition."

I am a clinical child psychologist with a private practice in Austin, Texas. My practice specializes in treatment of young children (ages 0-12). As you know, for many transgender persons, their feelings of not being in the right body emerge during this time of early childhood. I'm hoping that I will be able to guide parents to accurate information and steer them away from "fixes" by ill-informed "professionals" that actually make things worse. I follow WPATH standards of care.

"I am willing to see trans folk in my private practice at the church office. I am not that connected to the very active and large (for a rural area) community in the Brattleboro area but I am a very open and supportive counselor, depending upon the needs and issues, which I make clear when folks contact me. As a substance abuse counselor, I also do relationship issues, depression, anxiety, coming out issues and some gender identity but I do not do any of the medical related issues since that's not my scope of practice."
