Online Transgender Therapists
Online Transgender Therapists Directory: One of the most vital elements of your transition process is to get the right help and counseling. Many transgender people misunderstand the purpose of getting counseling prior to making the life-altering changes and they feel that because they are sure they want the change they don’t need the counseling. However, sometimes, it’s not about that; sometimes it’s about being ok with making that transition with your support network or family.
Also, it is not only advantageous but also a requirement of surgery that a counseling letter is sent to support your request for permanent surgery. In your mind, you may be sure, but any ethical procedure will insist that you undergo a minimum amount of counseling over a predetermined period of time to ascertain your mental capacity to make this change. Candidates are counseled to make sure that the definitive change they are about to make is not one that they will regret soon after. It has to be ascertained that each candidate is perfect for surgery, no if’s no buts.
When counseling is required or expected you will need someone licensed, reputable and accredited. Below, we have compiled a list of therapist who offer online sessions, with varying levels of fees. They will offer email consultations, Skype, phone calls, and instant messaging options on a paid half-hourly or hourly basis. As always, we caution you to be sure that you have the right therapist, so get testimonials from friends, do your research and be sure of your selection.
