Dec. 11th, 2007 09:48 pmI am currently in the process of looking for a therapist who has general experience with individuals with gender dysphoria or GID, and specifically with people who have undergone hormone therapy and gender reassignment.
I would like some further information that will allow me to choose a therapist who can meet my needs, and so I have a few questions that I hope you could answer for me. How experienced are you with people with gender dysphoria before and after undergoing treatment? Do you have experience specifically with people who are female-to-male dysphoric? What kind of therapy do you offer and are you able to provide the necessary information to a doctor that would allow me to pursue hormone therapy? Due to my location in Eau Claire, I may be restricted in traveling, so do you offer phone sessions?
Also, I would like to know if you have any other qualifications that make you particularly suitable for my current needs?
I appreciate your time in answering my inquiries and I hope that I can hear back from you soon.
Hopefully I can get some good info back to help me make a decision.
Can any of you guys offer some good suggestions, advice, questions I should ask, etc? Is there anything else I should look for or expect? Anything at all would be fantastic. I want to be prepared and know what to expect. I really appreciate it.
