Where can a transsexual military veteran get psychological and hormonal therapy West Palm Beach area? (I actually live in Jupiter.) I am out with my wife and she is very supportive, but I would like her to have a therapist sounding board, too.
I just read some older posts that indicated that transgender support varies greatly from one VA center to another. Boston and Phoenix seem to offer the best support for affected veterans, but I was hoping to find that such VA services have found there way to southeastern Florida.

First talk with a VA counselor, and explain to them that you are tg and want to get on hormones. Also make sure they know that boston, Michigan and whichever state you mentioned covers the therapy and the hrt. The VA is a federal org. And the rules apply nationwide. Believe me! It may take a little bit. Also talk to your doctor at the VA as well and that way they can work together to get you where you need to go.
