TCS serves people of all gender identities and sexual orientations. All of our providers also have specialized training and expertise working with people who are thinking about or sitting with how gender and sexuality show up in their daily life.
Traditionally, there has been a lack of gender, sex, kink, BDSM, and polyamory informed and affirming mental wellness care. In an effort to shift this imbalance, TCS strives to provides this quality, informed, and affirming mental wellness care. Our providers work in compliance with the World Professional Alliance for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards Of Care (an evidence based best practices guide for work with Gender Diverse people). Our providers are either WPATH certified themselves or are consulting with a WPATH Certification Mentor to ensure that the care they provide is up to date on the best practices for gender care. TCS providers also regularly consult with people with Trans/Queer lived experience to honor the importance and wisdom that comes from lived experience.
Being gender affirming and knowledgeable is not enough. People cannot be reduced to labels and are more than just a sum of their parts, so wellness care is needed for more than just a person’s gender. TCS practitioners strive to continually increase their therapeutic skills to bring holistic, deep, and lasting healing for TCS clients.
