This will be a group for Trans/Gender Fluid/Gender Non-Conforming (GNC) people seeking support navigating life and transition. The purpose of the group is to offer a safe and non-judgmental space for trans/GNC people to gather and openly discuss topics related to navigating gender, transition, and living a GNC experience in a society that gives more privilege and access to cisgender people.
A short term support group can be a great place to explore, process, and gain support for the unique challenges transition presents, while in the company of others that share the same or similar experiences. It can be a great place to meet other trans people as well.
Yes! The group facilitator is a trans woman.
Any trans/GNC person at any point during their transition/coming out/questioning process including those who are still not sure about their gender identity, those who have not yet come out but are thinking about it, those who have come out and are at the beginning of their transition journey, those who have been out and transitioning for awhile, and everyone in between can join and gain support in this group.
Groups are insurance reimbursable, much like individual therapy. We are an “in network” provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna insurances. Group therapy qualifies for reimbursement for those with other insurance plans that offer out of network mental health benefits. Also, we offer a sliding scale for those who who do not have insurance or have out of network benefits.
Contact us for a free 15-minute phone consultation. Before you join the group, we will have an individual initial session to assess if the group is right for you.
