I've been looking for information online on programs that will train you to be a therapist.  I'm looking to go back to school for my Masters soon and thought it might be a good field for me.  But I can't seem to find any programs for it.  Do any exist?  Does anyone here know how I could go about becoming a gender therapist?
In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity.
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity.
If it's alright, then you're all wrong.
Why bounce around to the same damn song?

I believe the usual path is to get a degree in Family Therapy, but also taking specialty sub-courses in gender, kids etc.
and i know that i'm never alone
and i know that my heart is my home
Every missing piece of me
I can find in a melody

I don't know the answer to your question. It seems like a great idea though. :)

Hugs.

There is probably some prerequisite undergraduate coursework that needs to be done before you would get accepted into a masters program that would allow you to become a therapist. A quick Google search turns up an article at About.com - pretty informative on how to become a therapist.

It looks like there are a few masters degrees that might work.

I would suggest asking your therapist.  If you don't have a current one, contact several therapists and ask them how they got started.
