Transgender, Nonbinary, and Intersex Identities
People can feel a wide range of emotions when they first realize that they might be transgender, agender, or nonbinary, or when they discover that they are intersex. They may be scared, surprised, curious, or even relieved and excited. You may want to explain it to your family or friends, but feel unsure what to say.
And more than anything, you may feel afraid about what this means for your your future. Many people find it hard to even know what's out there. You may have done some reading, but found that relatively little about transgender, non-binary, and intersex identities is well represented in modern, mainstream society. But your identity is an important part of who you are, and exploring that identity is often a big part of becoming the competent, capable, and happy person that you might wish or imagine your future self could be. You don't have to go through this alone. |
It can be frustrating and isolating when your family, friends, coworkers, or other important people in your life just don't understand. But you shouldn't have to struggle with your feelings and worries alone. A counselor who understands how to respect and validate transgender, nonbinary, and intersex folks can also help you figure out how to express your needs and find the support you are looking for in your life. This helps make your process of self-discovery in life an exciting and rewarding process rather than a frightening and unsure one.
Counseling should meet your unique needs, and that means focusing on what makes you an individual, including any and all of your individual identities. The way that I work leaves room for your identities, while letting you decide if and how you want to bring those identities into our sessions.
