Counselor note?

Does you counselor have to write a note to a doc for hormones? I thought I had read that you had to get a note, or is that just for srs? I'm in SW Missouri if it makes a difference. Thanks!

I'm in San Francisco, California with Kaiser. When I consulted the doctor, she had me get clearance from the psych department first to make sure they have on record that the patient is of sound-mind, fully aware of changes, and moving in the right direction.  I can't answer for your location, but I think it might be a norm.

Ok, that's what I was thinking. My psychologist wasn't quite sure on the process as she said all of her past trans patients never asked for any notes or anything. I need to find a new doc too, considering I work with my current doc's daughter-in-law at a middle school. I don't want any drama at work lol. Not that he would say anything but he was white as a ghost when I talked to him about my GID and quickly ended the visit and left the room lol. Thanks for the response Deven!
