🌈 Gender-Affirming Therapy for Transgender and Non-Binary Clients
Inclusive care that honors your truth, your story, and your healing
At Dow Counseling Services, I offer a space where transgender and nonbinary clients are welcomed with respect, curiosity, and care. Whether you're exploring identity, navigating transition, processing trauma, or simply seeking a therapist who truly sees you—I’m here to support you.
I understand that therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when past experiences have involved misgendering, invalidation, or assumptions. My practice is rooted in affirming care, meaning I meet you exactly where you are—with your language, your values, and your lived experience at the center.
🧠 What You Can Expect
Gender-Affirming Documentation & Support I provide letters for gender-affirming care and collaborate with medical providers when needed—always with your consent and autonomy in mind.
Trauma-Informed, Relational Healing Many transgender clients carry the weight of relational trauma, systemic harm, or chronic invalidation. I integrate EMDR, attachment-based therapy, and somatic awareness to support healing that honors your whole self.
Safe Space for Exploration Whether you're questioning, transitioning, or simply seeking a place to process life’s complexities, therapy here is a space to be curious, honest, and empowered.
Inclusive Language & Practices I use affirming language, respect pronouns, and continually educate myself to ensure my care reflects the evolving needs of the trans community.
