“You must always be yourself, no matter what the price. It is the highest form of morality.” – Candy Darling - - - - Trans people are living in an extremely violent environment right now. It's a scary place to navigate, much less figure out who you are. I want to be a support, even if just as an advocate in helping you find care. - - - - Moving through life can be overwhelming: sometimes we just need someone to be in our moment with us and give us a perspective we can't see. If you feel like you're losing your direction, not sure who you are anymore, or just need some help accepting that person, counseling can be really helpful.

Hi, and welcome. I am a queer and trans neurodivergent counselor offering virtual sessions in Maryland and Texas. I counsel LGBTQIA adults who are autistic, plural, and/or survivors of childhood abuse. We usually address issues related to DID/dissociation, gender identity, and complex trauma. Clients sometimes report feeling alone in current relationships or not knowing why they do things. Maybe what were once effective ways of protecting yourself are now preventing the connection and growth you want. I value getting to know you, learning your strengths, and identifying skills that support you in seeking safety and healing.

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.
