TGD-Competent Clinical Supervision

I was fortunate early in my career to be in a position to learn a lot about issues that impact the trans and gender diverse community. I’ve run workshops around allyship, and I’ve run trainings for therapists who don’t happen to be as nerdy as I am about gender. I’m also cis, so what the hell do I know?

If you’re here, it’s likely because I bugged you to check out the video I made about how to ethically provide assessment letters for folks who need surgical interventions. It’s embedded below. (If you’d just like to steal my assessment letter template, scroll through the video to 1:02:14, or just email me.)
