In the Syracuse area, we found the Couple and Family Therapy Center to be the most useful resource.

Our first contact with them was a counseling session with their founder. She persuaded us to attend the upcoming day of trans celebration. That event had a huge emotional impact on my wife as she deeply recognized the power of everyone accepting and expressing all gender identities.
That day was also when she began her legal identity change. They had volunteer lawyers on hand to assist with the paperwork. What a fantastic step that was!
When met with the founder again, she was a tremendous source of sensitivity and sensibility.
