Statement from therapist: “My approach to TG clients focuses on the dignity of the individual, the validity of his/her choices, and the readiness to embrace the consequences of life-changing decisions. With compassion, humor, and gentle reality reminders, I use a cognitive behavioral approach that includes emotional, spiritual, and relational aspects to assist clients to be true to their inner self.”
