There are a lot of issues that need to be dealt with like depression, anxiety, and sleep deprivation. We are looking to deal with these issues rather than having someone that just going to talk about the Transgender issue. I think he has turned to this community for a feeling of belonging.
We are located in PA and any advice on a good therapist would be great.
Thank you!
Welcome, MomPA. Your account has been activated. I hope you'll find the forum helpful.
Regarding your search for a therapist, I believe there are a couple in PA who are members of the Gender Exploratory Therapy Association. These therapists take an exploratory approach, exploring and looking at what is going on with the patient overall, rather than quickly affirming a patient as transgender.
I believe there is one PA therapist listed on page 1, and another on page 2.
