Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows a therapist/psychiatrist or endocrinologist who is at Northeast Philadelphia...I know there are some in the downtown area but I am not able to go because noone that I know is on my side in this matter.  So I am all alone.  I am already seeing a psychologist but its going too slow.  Because of my suffering I had to lock myself in the house for more than 2 years.  If anyone who lives in Philly area, please let me know. Thank you

I accept most insurances including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Pacificare, Aetna and others. Most billing is pre-approved before the client is seen so they know what co-pays are being incurred. Our agency is community behaviorally oriented, meaning we widely accept Medical Assistance in the state of PA, which is termed Access.
I have worked as an outpatient mental health therapist for five years now. My specialty is Children and Youth and graduated with my Master's in Social Work at the University of Buffalo, Buffalo, New York in 2000. I then received my license to practice clinical social work in the state of PA in 2002. Our agency consists of a foster care program, several residential units for teens, two MR programs, and our new outpatient department.

It's great that you have SO much info for doctors in the US, but there's NONE for Australia. I could find the info for the Gender Clinic in Melbourne if someone could give me a hand adding it, but apart from them I don't know who to add, and I'm sure there's other Aussies on here who are/would be wondering.

(Sorry for the thread hijack!)

No, don't worry about it.  I think we can all benefit when information about therapists is sought.  Anyway, you are correct, we don't have anyone listed in our link, but I have other sources ;D, so I hope this info helps.

Thank you for the info, right now I am seeing a psychologist who does not specialize in gender..but he is really good and understands me.  If he were to give me a referral for me to have a surgery, would it count? I know I need one from a psychiatrist too, I am going to see him in November, though he too does not specialize in gender... ???

They're moved! They're now based in Moorabin/East Hampton (whichever it's called these days). I'll try and get the details so that can be edited. ;)
