Gender Embodiment Education & Support
(also known as Gender Affirming Assessment & Support)

No matter the system, accessing gender embodiment education & support can be unnecessarily complex; we aim to address that. In our work, we partner with clients seeking medically & socially affirming support by completing informed consent-based hormone and surgical assessments, providing letters of support for surgery (i.e., face, chest/breast, genital), as well as providing letters for safe passage & travel, and legal name/gender marker changes. Please note that each medical provider and/or system has unique requirements to provide care (e.g., requiring a mental health diagnosis). We encourage prospective clients to learn about these requirements prior to scheduling an initial consultation with us.

​

Our gender embodiment philosophy is based on the understanding that:

​

1) When adequately supported, clients can make fully informed decisions about the care & resources to which they desire access 

2) The therapist’s role is to ask questions to facilitate one’s discernment process,

to document what is needed for insurance purposes, and/or to meet the medical provider’s requirements.

​

Those seeking an assessment & letters of support do not need to be ongoing therapy clients and can use their in-network and out-of-network health insurance benefits for care.
