I'm currently looking for a therapist, I live in southeast Michigan, and next year if I am unable to obtain a job that pays well enough I will wind up forced onto Medicaid.
I have found 2 possible therapists to contact(haven't done so yet) and both of them do accept medicaid.
I would like to hear if anyone has experience with either Tyne Kreiner, or Alisa M Hilewsky.
I would also be willing to hear recommendations or suggestions for people I could look for therapy wise so I can hopefully start my transition.
I'm also MtF

its about endos for trans people...
and you might think about changing the title of the thread... possibly including michigan so more people might read and take part...
hugs
before I think about endo I will need to find a therapist to help both me and my family with things. That's why I want opinions of the ones I mentioned.
Here are some more therapists... there were ome resources in the link above...:

If you find a good one lemme know! (half kidding..)
I've seen a few: The first wasn't a gender therapist; i loved seeing her anyway. Not very reliable tho. The second was a gender one, he's ok I guess, I feel like me and him didn't really mesh all that well in terms of talking bout things. Got my hrt letter and referrals from him but it took forever; he promised em months before he did finally get around to do it. The third was just, no, lol.
I didn't see either of the ones you mentioned so I can't really help with that.
I went thru UofM for a lot of services. One of the above therapists was located there (not the third one). Didn't cost me anything to see him. I didn't have insurance when I started seeing him and I had a poor paying job so maybe that's why it was free but I dunno for sure. Anyways, here's the link to their site (I hope it's allowed?) http://www.uofmhealth.org/conditions-treatments/transgender-services
Another place to check would be at Affirmations. I haven't tried going to therapy there but I know they offer it and it is on a sliding scale I believe. http://www.goaffirmations.org/
You could also look on this page too for some, along with many other potential resources you may need: http://www.transgendermichigan.org/transpages/index.html
If you have any questions or need help with anything, feel free to pm me (when you can, after 15 posts) or ask away; hopefully I will see it and can help.
