Support for Medical & Behavioral Healthcare Providers
Delivering comprehensive Medical Care or Behavioral Health Services as a component of your practice on behalf of Transgender (TG) or Gender Diverse (GD) individuals may at times prove to be a little challenging.
The challenges you may experience have historically been caused by a lack of specialized medical or behavioral health training you received in preparation for the care you will be providing for Transgender and Gender Diverse patients.
In the absence of specialized training; time is required to acquire first-hand real-world knowledge and experience with the diverse challenges, needs and experiences these individuals present and what they are confronted with as they live their lives in their self-attributed Non-Conforming Gender roles.
The professionals I work with strive to deliver the best and most appropriate care for these patients. However; in the absence of acquired experience and knowledge, or being a Transgender or Gender Diverse Stakeholder, one might unknowingly impose their own preconceived or unconscious biases or limitations while providing care.
As a Social-Psychologist & Behavioral Analyst; with doctoral degrees in Sociology and Psychology, I am proud to share that I am a Stakeholder in the LGBTQ+ Community as a Trans-Woman. My life's evolution (transition in the day) took place in 1990, 34 years ago.
My experiences since my Gender Affirmation in 1990; which I refer to as my life’s evolution, along with the challenges and experiences I had encountered and endured leading up to that official date of evolution, I am in a unique position to provide insights, support and assistance with client or patient interventions and your delivery of appropriate, compassionate and effective medical or behavioral healthcare.
My personal and professional experiences aside, I have been researching & studying the Biological, Hormonal & Physiological aspects of Gender Dysphoria, Transgender & Gender Diverse needs and history as well as working with the LGBTQ and healthcare providers for the past 34 years.
My professional support and advisory services are only an E-Mail away!
