I specialize in working transgender and non-binary youth and their families on matters related to gender identity.
My approach to therapy is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety & depression), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender & sexuality.

I’m Dr. Michael Grey, and I conduct Immigration Psychological Evaluations. Trying to understand what the US Government wants from you can be overwhelming. Your lawyer seems to be handling things, but you're feeling more confused, anxious, and maybe even scared that the only place you have ever known, the place you call home, will be taken from you. You spend your time searching for answers to find that I am waiting to help you. Immigration Psychological Evaluations can provide your case with the support it needs to keep you here, the place you call home; this can determine if a family stays together or is torn apart.

You come first in therapy. I’m just here to help. When we learn to be honest with ourselves, life is happier, problems are solvable, and relationships are easier. I prefer a direct approach because self-exploration requires clear reflection. I’m also patient because sometimes it takes a few tries to get to where we want to be.

Life, with all its beauty, can be filled with adversity. The clients I work with often feel overwhelmed, like a failure, stuck, and unsure of how to manage life's demands. They may be facing challenges at work, school, in their relationships, or struggling with past traumas. I offer a supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, reflect, and build practical skills to handle symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, or trauma.

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.
