A Safe, Affirming, and Respectful Environment
The Adult Gender and Sexuality Behavioral Health Program is unique because it focuses specifically on the behavioral health needs of adult gender diverse individuals, and is led by clinical social workers with backgrounds in creating patient centered therapeutic spaces informed by anti-oppression, sex positivity and social justice. We are well positioned to collaborate with hormonal prescribers in order to provide comprehensive care.
We offer psychosocial support, behavioral health, and wellness services for anyone over 18 years of age who wishes to explore issues associated with their gender identity or sexuality. The goal is to provide care in a safe, affirming, and respectful environment that welcomes gender exploration across the spectrum.
We follow the standards set forth in the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standard of Care.
