Gender Affirming Care

In Person or Telehealth

You have probably had to jump through a lot of hoops just to be recognized as your authentic self and get your basic needs met along the way.

You shouldn’t have to do that for therapy.

If you need psychotherapy, you should be able to find a competent, skilled provider a reasonable distance from where you live. If you need someone to bear witness and offer affirming, therapeutic support as you process who you are and what that means around your gender, expression, body or other factors, we’re here to help. 

Other times, you may find that therapy is set up as another hoop to jump through. You know what you need (hormones, gender affirming surgery, etc.) but, because of the gatekeeping standards of care your insurance company or medical provider follows, you can’t move forward without adding a therapist to your team.

Although we believe in, and independently practice, from an informed consent model (ICATH), we are aware that WPATH’s standards require a therapist to provide you a recommendation (often in the form of a letter) before beginning certain types of treatment.

If you need therapist support before taking the next step in your gender affirming care, we invite you to contact us at Whole Valley Therapy. We can discuss your options, possible pathways and your needs/barriers to moving forward. For those in need, we offer “pay as you can” and free slots for gender affirming care consults every month.

We offer therapy and consults in our office in Duvall, WA and also via Telehealth.

Regardless of your specific need, we invite you to reach out today to ask questions or schedule a no cost consultation. During a consult, we can learn more about your needs and confirm that we able to help you. If we are not a good fit, we can share referrals to other affirming providers so you can get the care that you need.
