My teen has a set of other issues as well, particularly anxiety attacks and depression. I would like to find a psychiatrist in the Denver metro area who could work with these other issues and consider whether to recommend antidepressants. A psychologist or analyst who would be committed to discussing possible non-medical ways of dealing with the dysphoria, depression, and anxiety would also be helpful. I am very concerned about what I have heard about hormones and surgeries being recommended to teens, and would like to avoid health care practitioners who would steer my teen in that direction. Does anybody know of reliable psychiatrists or other health care practitioners in the Denver metro area? On a broader note, what experiences have you all had with helping a trans identified teen with anxiety, depression, and gender dysphoria, and have you found medical practitioners who were committed to examining other avenues than referrals to clinics for hormones and surgeries?
My fifteen year old daughter is going through the exact same thing with the exact same issues - anxiety and depression. She also is low level autistic. We are also in the Denver area. Have you found someone you like?
I have a 16 year old daughter having same issues. We are in a Denver area and I want to find a therapist ASAP. Have you found one in this area ? If so could you please share therapists name?

Could you please send me the referral too? I have a 16 year old daughter and need to find good therapist to help her with all this in Denver. Thank you!
