I welcome clients of all genders. I respect that gender identity may not be the central issue, I also help you work on things such as anxiety and depression. I welcome clients who are working to better understand their gender identity or those seeking gender transition. I can help with related to gender, including social isolation and family issues. If transitioning, I provide therapy for hormone treatment and gender transition-related surgeries. I also provide therapy for Depression and Anxiety. Please email- brandnewdaycounseling@gmail.com
I write recommendation letters for hormone treatment, chest augmentation,GRS/SRS/Orchi.. The counseling takes place through online text chat. This is a great option for those that can't find a gender therapist locally and for those that may have trouble expressing themselves face to face. The chat program is HIPAA compliant.
As part of the LGBT community I have a dedication to help with all kinds of issues including everyday issues. I have been with my wife for 28 years (legally married 4 years). My wife and I have an 18 year old son. This is a non-judgmental therapist that helps you reach your goals whatever they may be.
