Title: looking for therapy near indianapolis
Post by: Brianne on November 14, 2007, 07:18:18 AM
Hi,

I just wanted to know if anyone could recommend a therapist in the Indianapolis area.  I've seen webpages for one or two therapists in Indianapolis or Bloomington, but I'd really like to hear if anyone has experience with a therapist in that area.

Thanks,
Bree

Let's see....according to our link on the main page, there's a therapist in Bloomington:

Then, we have:

The Kinsey Institute Sexual Health Clinic
Indiana University Health Center
600 N. Jordan, Fourth Floor

(812) 855-3878
Open Tuesdays, 1:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

For transsexual or transgendered patients seeking sex reassignment, or simply advice, an initial assessment interview is carried out. This may be followed by real-life testing (i.e., a period of time in which the individual is encouraged to live fully in the chosen gender role, with advice and support from the clinic). After a period of time, more irreversible steps, such as hormonal treatment to produce feminizing or masculinizing effects, may be taken with the clinic's help. Referral to a surgeon for sex-reassignment surgery or other surgical procedures (e.g., mastectomy, hysterectomy, breast augmentation, and/or facial plastic surgery) is done when appropriate.

I hope it is helpful :)

Thank you for the info.  I'd seen Ms O'Mara's website and I was curious about her.  I just really need to talk to someone right now and I was hoping to avoid picking a name out of a phone book or of some website without hearing something from another person.
