RECURSOS DE APOYO
“The greatest mistake in the treatment of diseases is that there are physicians for the body and physicians for the soul, although the two cannot be separated.”
- Plato
The Health Resources list is meant to provide all of the resources needed to holistically heal and/or maintain the health and well-being of Trans and nonbinary individuals. This includes both Trans and Trans-affirming mental health and physical health clinicians and clinics. Additionally, you can find resources and educators on sexual health and wellbeing that are specific to Trans+ people, as such resources are often all too scarce in youth sex education programs. This page is devoted to mental healthcare.

They work with and like clients who live in some way outside of the norm — whose body types, cultural identities, family, or relationship structures differ from those represented frequently and/or positively in mainstream media. They celebrate queer joy, liberation, and pleasure.

It is important to them that their clients have a sense of safety and connection within the therapeutic process.
In therapy, they work relationally and systemically, meaning they use the therapeutic relationship as our main guiding tool. Their therapeutic approach is to be active and engage my clients. They listen deeply, ask questions, and gently challenge clients to live by their values.
