Supporting authenticity is an important part of therapy work! Therapists at RCC strive to be informed and respectful of client pronouns, chosen names, and identities starting from your intake paperwork and first interactions.
You may be seeking counseling largely because of your identity - to seek support pre transition, cope with changes to support system, process related trauma or fears, or address other barriers to living more authentically. We also understand that your focus may be entirely something else. Regardless of your goals, one of ours is to provide a safe environment for growth with awareness of the psychological impact of heteronormativity, the culture of this area, history, and intersectionality within the LGBT+ community. RCC can provide Gender Affirming Surgery letters according to 2024 WPATH Standards. |
