Our team provides culturally competent and trans-affirmative care to our transgender clients. Trans-affirmative therapy means we believe our clients understand their own identity and experience.

We both work with transgender population; however, Dr. Tamjidi has specific training working with transgender population. She provides specific treatment for gender related issues such as exploration of gender identity, coming out process, teaching tools to cope with transphobia and stigma, treatment of mental health issues that may or may not be related to gender identity, mental health assessment/letter prior to initiating hormone therapy and gender affirming surgeries and collaborating with medical providers to coordinate care for clients.

We understand that our transgender clients may be hesitant about attending therapy due to past experience of mistreatment by mental health providers. Therefore, it’s even more essential to emphasize that stigma free and affirmative therapy can be very beneficial. We believe in treating our clients with respect and dignity and we are mindful of the diversity within the transgender population.

We encourage clients to reach out, ask questions and to assure that we can provide the care they need and deserve.
