As a gender-queer mental health counselor I know how challenging, overwhelming, and confusing it can be as a gender questioning, transgender, or nonbinary person. That’s why I created the tools and resources you will find here at Conversations with a Gender Therapist. Loved ones, allies, and trans-affirming therapists are encouraged to explore the information here as well!
