PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN
support letters
for gender affirming care
As a way to support access to life-saving care for trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and two spirit folks (TNBGNC2S+) located in the state of Texas, I am honored to offer a few slots per month for pay-what-you-can (starting at $0) assessments and surgery letters for gender affirming care. This means you are welcome to choose whatever amount feels best to you, and you will not be turned away if you are unable to pay. The assessment can often be completed in one 50-minute session. Any payment I receive that exceeds my own costs helps cover costs for clients who are unable to contribute financially.

I dream of the day when trans and non-binary folks are able to access medical care without barriers or hardship.
In the meantime, I acknowledge the gatekeeping role that I hold as a mental health professional in gender affirming care. I believe you are the expert of your experience, and I will never ask you to “prove” your gender identity. My goal is to minimize gatekeeping throughout the process as much as possible, while adhering to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) guidelines in order to best support you in getting the care you deserve in our current system.

some things we may discuss include: your gender identity and journey, your support system, your plans for transition, your mental health, and your understanding of the procedure(s) and their risks.
