I'm biologically male looking for help to potentially transition to female.

I've started to look for a therapist and it's confusing.  I'm hoping to use the knowledge of this group to help me along this road.  I'm looking for a therapist to help me figure out what's been running through my head about my gender identity for the last 40+ years.

1) What degree(s) should I look for (all the letters after their name)?

2) What else should I consider?

3) Any therapist recommendations in the Chicago/NW Indiana/SW Michigan area?

Dr. Deb Wilke in Bolingbrook is really good. She's helped me a lot.
Good luck!
