Our Links Editor has established a new links directoy under Medical. It is named "Therapists and Counselors." The directory currently includes the USA and its states, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Other countries will be added based on input.
Our aim is to develop a readily accessible list of mental health professionals, preferably those who are transgender friendly and knowledgeable of gender identity and expression issues and of the HBIGDA (now WPATH) Harry Benjamin Standards of Care (SOC).
Susan's Place members are probably the best source of information concerning such professionals. In particular, you know whether or not your therapist/counselor or a family member's is supportive of gender variant people.
Please provide as much of the following information as possible, but don't let a lack of an item keep you from responding:
Name and credentials (e.g., LCSW, PhD, MSW, etc.)
Address, including any clinic or other organizational name
Phone Number
Email address, if available
Website, if applicablePlease post the information in reply to this message or email it to
debbee@susans.org or
reikirobyn@susans.org.
An important part of one's transgender or intersex journey is to help others. Sharing information about supportive professional care is a great way to help our community. Your input is both vital and appreciated.
Thanks.
