Counseling for the Transgender Community
You’ve noticed your child is miserable.
Depressed, anxious, moodier than usual and possibly engaging in self-harming behaviors. You’re worried and unsure about what to do.
You’ve tried everything.
You hoped it was a phase. But, you are discovering your child is serious.
And what they are serious about is that their body does not match who they feel they truly are inside.
What does it mean that my child tells me they’re trans?
What does this mean for them, for me, for our family?
What if others do not understand? I want my child to be safe.
I want my kid to be healthy and happy, but this is hard for me to understand, to believe, to accept.
You and your child can receive support during this time of change.
I will not pressure you. I will explore your concerns and we will explore your child’s needs.
I will answer your questions.
We will work together to determine what will be best for your child, your family and your situation.
And I can provide you with resources when you decide how you and your family want to move forward.
You’ve found your courage…
…and you’ve tried to get your family to notice you, to listen, and to understand.
They say, “You’re being dramatic, it’s a phase, you’ll grow out of it.”
You just want someone to get it. To get you. And to allow you to explore who you feel you are.
Whether you’re 50% sure or 100% sure, I’ll help you work toward being the you that feels right.
In an environment where there’s no pressure, you get a safe space to have the conversations that matter most to you.
I can meet with you individually and/or with your family to help you be heard and help you to receive the support you need. Call me today, and let me support you and your family during this time of transition (513) 904-9322.
If you have yet to share with your family or if you’re unsure if you identify as trans, we can have conversations to help you to determine what is right for you. Once again, no pressure, just a safe space where you can be whomever you need to be right now and take the time you need.
“It isn’t about “becoming” another person – I already am who I am – I just want my body to reflect that. It’s not like I’m suddenly changing from the person you’ve always known – this is more about your willingness to see who I’ve always been.”
