GENDER DYSPHORIA AND DE-TRANSITION EXPLORATION

We offer an open and exploratory approach to gender dysphoria for both the person experiencing it and their parent(s)/guardian(s). We do this through traditional modalities such as CBT, CPT, and ACT; research exploration, psycho-education; and holistic approaches to addressing gender dysphoria. 

We offer a supportive environment to openly and thoroughly explore options, challenge any identified cognitive distortions or beliefs about gender and transitioning/de-transitioning, increasing distress tolerance skills, increasing self esteem, exploring how family and societal messaging may be affecting beliefs about gender and transitioning/de-transitioning, exploring long and short term benefits and consequences of medical intervention, and providing psycho-education about the correlation of emerging  gender dysphoria in certain demographics and occurring disorders.

We  are not here to convince you/your child to or not to transition/de-transition. We are here to help you make an informed decision about your/your child’s health and treatment. We take our time in this delicate exploration process and do everything in our power to ethically and respectfully care for our patients to ensure that they are in a healthy mental state to make their own informed decisions about their care.
