We’ve had a lot of trauma last year/deaths,cancer...Now she is says she feels more like a boy than girl. I’d like to find someone who can help her with this struggle.

Hi, I am also in Seattle. My 13 year old daughter has had a rough couple of years (hard periods, lonely, depressed, anxiety). She started with they/them pronouns (which we have dutifully tried) but now thinks she might be a fem boy (she is not boyish at all). She has been seeing an online therapist who seems quite useless and my husband and I now realize has probably been affirming the he/him thing. Any leads on a good therapist in Seattle would be greatly appreciated. It is nice to know there is another parent in Seattle who gets how scary and serious this whole thing is.

I am looking for a therapist on Long Island for my 19 year old daughter who announced a year ago she was transgender.

I had bad experiences with her college therapist in Massachusetts because she was referred to the Fenway Clinic and they wanted to immediately start hormones. They also convinced her she wasn't trans enough and she insisted after meeting with them she needed to be moved to a boys dorm floor.  I had to pay an extra $2000 to provide a private room with a private shower.  Fenway told her to use the boys showers. UGH. 

She is home now from college and still speaking about hormones.  KM is a recent ROGD.  She has a history of anxiety, cutting, depression, dyslexia, low self esteem from learning disabilities, poor reaction to SSRI's, hospitalizations, bullying, hypothyroid, PCOS.    I was given 2 names. Shervin Shadianloo MD and Richard Pleak, MD.  I saw one comment on Dr. Pleak from a woman who stated felt pressured into hormones and surgery by Dr. Pleak and his staff and now regrets it.  I'm not sure about Dr. Shadianloo.  I saw that he wrote sections of textbooks about trans gender issues and he may be too gender affirming but I'm not completely sure of his opinions.  He did not have any reviews on any boards that I saw.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you.

I'm not sure if I am replying in the appropriate space, but I will give this a try. Thank you for the advice about whom not to use in Massachusetts. Does anyone know of a good therapist in the Boston area who treats these teens and young adults with a wider lens to focus more on the wider issues, like depression? I would appreciate any recommendations. Thank you.

I search for countless hours on the internet and I can't find anyone reliable everyone seems very sketchy. Who can I trust, Im so overwhelmed. My daughter who never showed signs of such issue like 'EVER"... What has happened to her? She was girly, always dressing up like a princess, had friends. Now she has no friends, and the few that she had were all in the same boat, going through similar scenarios. Now a days, my daughter doesn't eat to shave, she has the worst hygiene, she's always wearing hoodies and jogging pants, she hates makeup, he armpits are scary, she self harms every chance she can or is experiencing anxiety. She walks in circles, talks to herself, is continuously shaking her hands, she starts laughing all of the sudden for the weirdest reasons, keeps to herself in her room most the time, is all the sudden into anime and weird dark cartoons, doesn't want a relationship with me or her father, she cannot stand us, she has no respect for us, I don't know what to do or where to go from here. HELP!!!!!!!!!!
