Just inquiring if anyone has an therapist in Melbourne they have seen or are seeing they are confident in. Monash is closed. Thanks

Have you tried the Zoe Belle Gender Centre? They may be able to point you in the right direction.

I registered to say this.

I've been seeing Dr Linda Midalia. I can't express how much I've enjoyed sessions with her, so I really recommend her. She's been dealing with LGBT* issues and trans stuff for over 20 years and it shows in how she's managed to handle me.

Her site is here http://www.lindamidaliapsychology.com.au/

All of her contact info is on there. Unfortunately she does not bulk bill so there is a cost associated with seeing her and you will want to get a GP Mental Health Plan so that the first 10 visits per year can be processed with Medicare and you can be given about an $85 rebate.

She will likely want to refer you to the Northside Clinic in Fitzroy to see a GP. This is because there is a doctor there who will accept a psychiatric evaluation from a psychologist as a basis for HRT as opposed to the others you might find in the Prahran Market Clinic who would need an evaluation from a psychiatrist as well, which means more costs and more waiting for you.

I hope this helps.

Hi Kristyn;
I see Claire Weightman at the Prahran Medical Clinic as she specialises in Transgender issues.

Thanks for the replies. Have given some indication to my endo for referral
