Being gender-affirming saves lives. Transgender and nonbinary youth have a high rate of suicidality, largely due to social factors like stigma, microaggressions, and emotional neglect (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32345113/). However, when we affirm a person's stated gender, giving them space to explore and express their gender, their mental health and outlook on life improve.
As a trans- and queer-owned and operated mental health facility, we are passionate about providing gender-affirming care to our clients, whether in individual therapy, in our teen and adult therapy groups, or by providing no-cost gender-affirming surgery letters.
