My experience as a social worker and as a queer transgender person has helped me grow into an intuitive understanding of our complex humanness.
I love working with folks experiencing life journeys and transitions including questioning gender and sexuality, understanding substance use struggles, healing from traumatic experiences, moving through grief (death, empty nesting, divorce) and even coping with exciting but stressful changes like starting college, moving, and career changes.

As a therapist with lived experience as a poly, kinky, transgender gay man, I specialize in serving Georgia’s gender, sexuality, and relationship structure minority communities.
“Am I transgender?” is the question you want answered. For your whole life, you’ve tried to fit into the gender assigned to you at birth, but you’re miserable. Your body feels wrong, and you don’t recognize yourself in the mirror. Between keeping up with the bills and inflation, staying informed about the latest political threats to your safety, and trying to find small moments of joy in your life, you feel overwhelmed at the thought of tackling the complexity of gender exploration. At the same time, you realize something has to change.

Transgender Therapists

As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?

A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.

What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?

Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.

How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?

An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.

How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?

Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
