Title: Therapist in Virginia
Post by: RockerGirl on February 09, 2016, 04:42:46 PM
Is anyone working with any gender therapist in the Richmond/Central Virginia area? The therapist I wanted to use recently only started working with people under 22(I'm 28). Soooooo in other words I'm freaking out cuz I can't find any online that specifically mention using WPATH standards that I like. Thanks

Thanks Devlyn! I had to end up getting a name from one of the therapists on the list. A lot of the ones specializing in gender identity here aren't able to see new clients! Very glad I got the one I did though!

Glad you've got things in motion! Is there someone we can add to the Directory? It might help the next person.  :)

Hugs, Devlyn

Definitely, her name is Dr. Joy Bressler. She's great, very understanding. Asked me what pronouns and name I preferred to go by.
