Title: How do I find a gender therapist?
Post by: Moxie F. on May 22, 2011, 09:05:34 AM
I've decided it's time I finally talk to a gender therapist but searching for one through google isn't working so well so how am I supposed to find a gender therapist?

Would help us to help you if we knew what city you live in.

oh I live in South Lake Tahoe and Reno and Sacramento are within driving distance though Reno would be better but if I have to I'd go to ether if I had to.

Please do not take the following as being a sarcastic comment!

How about looking through a telephone book or the equivalent telephone book online for the relevant area?

Kind regards

You may just have to redefine how far is too far to drive to a therapist.  Gender therapists are rather specialized and tend to set up shop in major cities.  I drive an hour (one way) to see mine.  Its worth it.

If you have to drive further to see one ask about what's called a "double" session so you don't have to make the drive as often.

I found a gender health center and they offer consoling so I'm going to be going there, about a 2 hour drive one way for it though but I don't have much choice

Well good!
I have to drive an hour and a half to see my GT. 2 Hours should be doable.
