Your gender dysphoria is impacting your daily life and causing distress.

Everyone deserves to be heard and empowered to live their true life
There are so many things you have faced, and will face, as you express your gender affirmation, from stigmatization and discrimination to feelings of not belonging, fear of losing loved ones, and the medical issues associated with transitioning. Whether you’re excited to transition but have questions or are struggling with how to live life on your terms, you should be able to explore your feelings in a supportive environment.
At Redefining Therapy, we’re passionate about helping you live the life you were meant to live. We provide a safe space to explore your sexual identity and gender, dig deep into your fears and concerns, and help you understand your options.
Feel more comfortable in your own body
We want to help you live authentically and embrace your true self so you feel comfortable and proud of who you are. And that is founded on building a true relationship with your therapist. We take the time to get to know you so we can match you with a therapist that fits your needs and personality, who will develop a highly individualized plan that will help you navigate all things connected with your gender identity. Unlike many other counselors who stick with one therapy model, we believe in mixing a variety of therapy types to better help you achieve your therapy goals.
How gender affirming therapy can help you live authentically
Figuring out, coming to terms with, and living life as your authentic self can be complicated. During your therapy sessions, your therapist will support and guide you on your journey, helping you to understand yourself more deeply and navigate your social and/or medical transition.
You will:
- Explore emotions related to gender dysphoria
- Develop coping mechanisms to deal with stress and anxiety
- Gain the ability to accept who you are
- Build self-confidence
- Learn strategies to become resilient against discrimination
- Uncover and address traumatic events
With counselors that have specialized training in gender who write hormone replacement therapy referral letters, we can help you find the best path forward for YOU.
