Gender Affirming Care
At Goodman Psychotherapy Associates, we believe that everyone should have access to the care they need. We reject gatekeeping around care, especially around gender affirming care. To that end, Dr. Goodman is happy to offer letters for access for gender affirming care, after only one assessment. During that assessment, Dr. Goodman will ask questions about your understanding of the treatment, your history, and your after care plans. These conversations can be an opportunity to discuss some of your hopes and fears, and to better understand how the care you are hoping for will help you. The assessment is designed to meet your needs. If requested, Dr. Goodman will also offer resources and can offer further sessions as continual support. After your assessment, you will receive the letter requested in about a week. At which time, you can do whatever you would wish with the letter.
Due to the many barriers of access for this type of care, Dr. Goodman offers limited pro-bono assessments if financial concerns would be a barrier. Please reach out and ask about availability for pro-bono assessments if needed.
