TRANS & NON BINARY MENTAL HEALTH

Hello! Noah here. I have experience treating a wide variety of issues, I primarily work with the LGBTQIA+, more specifically the transgender and nonbinary community. I utilize a gender affirming model and I am a member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and follow the WPATH Standards of Care 8th Ed. in my clinical practice.

I am a Latinx, neurodiverse, queer, nonbinary trans man (more specifically, bigender), and therapist. I operate from a trauma informed perspective with a social justice lens and anti-oppressive framework. I am also fat positive, sex positive, neurodiversity affirming, LGBTQIA+ affirming, poly, ethical non monogamy, and kink affirming and am allied with those engaged in sex work. I also strongly believe in harm reduction.

As a nonbinary trans man, I know that there are a variety of challenges that present itself on a daily basis, from relationships with family members and significant others to simply buying something at the store. In therapy, we can work together to process these challenges and develop coping strategies to more effectively manage these and other potentially dysphoria inducing situations. Additionally, I work with individuals who are questioning their sexual orientation or gender, struggling with the coming out process, looking to start hormone replacement therapy (HRT), beginning the transition process, or would like additional support during the transition or coming out process. Through our work together, you will also learn about community resources and we will focus on getting tasks accomplished related to your transition such as finding a HRT provider, resources for name and gender corrections, navigating health insurance (or finding affordable options to obtain hormones), and providers for surgery to name a few.
