Title: Please hepl me find a therapist
Post by: Tina2 on January 24, 2009, 04:12:11 AM
Hi  everyone, it has been awhile since I posted but I have been lurking, I still have not found a therapist after a year of looking, I live on the Hilo side of the Big Island of Hawaii, is there anyone out there that might know of a therapist in my area, I am going to grind all my teeth away if I do not find some way to deal with the gender dysphoria, my jaw is sore and tense all the time, do any of you get tension in the jaw and upper neck area from thinking about what should have been but is not?   Thanks so much and aloha.

Hi Tina,
I'm in NC, but I did find the following info.  I cannot verify that it is still accurate, but it may help.  Good luck sweetheart!

Hi Tina.  I'm happy to have helped.  I wish I could say where I found it, but I just did a web search and chose the one's that I thought might still be valid and hopefully close to you.  Good luck! :icon_hug:
