On staff, we have professionally trained transition advisers / therapist to help with gender exploration and confirmation. HRT letters are available after an assessment and development of a clinical plan with your transition adviser / therapist. Please be aware that HRT letters are not guaranteed. Sliding scale fees apply.
NEW Pet Assisted Therapy Program
Our new animal assisted therapy program is designed to make the Gender Identity Center more welcoming to visitors along with providing therapeutic benefits to our clients. The program will take place on Fridays from 9am-3pm. Our therapy dog Mickey (see listing under Interns and Therapists) will be present in the common room when not working a session. Animal assisted therapy has research proven benefits including improved social skills (such as building relationships) and mental health benefits (including relief from depression and anxiety). For more information, check out Audrey Fine's articles, or Cynthia Chandler's book on AAT in counseling.
