Anyone have experience with any of these therapists: Antone Feo, Brooke Kroto, and Jaime Bishop?
I have contacted them by e-mail (and will follow-up by phone) but wanted also to get some anecdotal perspective. Specifically:
1) What kind of questions were you asked in the first session?
2) How closely did they follow the WPATH Standards of Care?
3) What did they require for a letter for hormones?
4) How long (# of sessions or time frame) did you have to wait to get the letter?
For background info, I am looking to go to counseling for the sole purpose of getting a letter to start hormones.
I am located near Cleveland, and would prefer to go the informed consent route, but the closest physician I have found who follows informed consent is 2 hrs away in Columbus, and this is impractical for ongoing monitoring.
