Where I live there are no Gender Therapists. I read that it would be better to have a GT as opposed to just a regular Therapist since they might misdiagnose you. So Instead of driving to the next province for 20 some hours I was wondering if any of you had experience with Online Gender Therapists?

Are they pretty much the same?

Can I still get "The Magic Letter" from them?

Is there any you would recommend?

Thx

Hey honey, you might be interested in this!

http://gendercounseling.org/

It's legit, it's been confirmed by people here on Laura's. :)

I plan to go this route when I get a job. x3

You can email him for pricing and all the other info, or I could just show you what he sent me. (it's gotta be pre-written, I'm sure, so it's the same thing he sends to everyone asking for info)

Google Docs - gendercounseling.org info

He asks you to email him the Bio Form back if you're interested, I included that in the Google Doc, too.

Let me know if you go through with it, I'm anxious to see what it's like! ^^

Love, Valerie

That would be awesome if you could post what he said :) I'm not quite ready to do anything yet, financially anyway. But I would like to have some numbers in my head.

Thx everyone else for the replies. I knew I could count on you all. :D

How long did it take for them to reply? I emailed them weeks ago and still nothing back

I don't think it should have take anywhere near that long. If there is a phone number for you therapist I would call and inquire. If not, I would send another e-mail ASAP. You should have at least received some acknowledgement.

Honey....

Re-email......

Something went wrong...you shouldn't have to wait for more than 72 hours for a reply....

Can you set your email to notify you that someone received it? If so ...do that!

I am personally very skeptical as to the usefulness of this as "therapy". Even telephone "therapy" is very limited compared to in person. Now if its over the internet with voice, well that be as good as telephone.

On the other hand, if one has some pre-determined conclusion and wants "therapy" mostly for the all important referral letters and some general transition guidence, I see no problem with it. There are plenty of in person gender therapists who will take your money and listen, give some letters without pulling one into dealing with their issues. Seems to me the online alternative may be cheaper.

One wanting to really dig into issues, to really work on the things that many blame on not being transitioned, there is no substitute to in-person therapy in my opinion.

But its sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo expensive :(

There is no way in Hell that I can afford in person therapy. Paying 500 bucks a month is WAY over my budget. For now this is the only thing I can get. And it does help too. Especially when I KNOW in my heart what I want.

Thanks much for posting that. I'm definitely going to have to look into this guy. I can't afford the therapists that are in my area. Plus, I'm on a night schedule so it's hard finding day-time appointments that work for me. But in this case, the time zone difference works perfectly for me. :)

Drea...

Exactly!

There are many people that feel thet have no real issues and want to go the "correct" route to get hormones...

This makes it happen...

It satisifies the SOC and gets the letters!

No, I do agree that for more complex problems ...nothing beats eye to eye...

I think this may be the best solution allowing funds to be best allocated bring about the tangible results we are all trying to achieve. Hopefully I can find some local support and social circles to share suggestions, recommendations and experiences. I am getting more excited that things will be achievable.

Hey everybody my name is Christy and this is my first post. I was wanting to know more about how yalls online sessions are going because I'm thinking of taking this route. I haven't ever been to a therapist so I'm really nervous about going to one face to face and plus I'm a college student and I work but I don't really have a lot of money to spend on therapy right now.

Hi, Christy. Glad to meet you.

I hope you get some replies from folks who have had experience with online therapists. I can tell you from other posts I've read that it seems to work pretty well. There are a number of links in the early posts in this thread if you want to get a list together for yourself.

Please do post in the Introductions Forum when you have a chance, so that everyone gets a chance to meet you and say hello. There might even be some cookies in it for ya! :D

Do they help you find a doctor for the blood tests and rx?

Honey.....the online therapis can be hundreds of miles away....

You'll probably have to do that locally....

I have a question for anyone who has used or knows anyone who has used the services at http://gendercounseling.org/

About how long did it take for your letter to arrive in the mail? Its been a few weeks now and I'm getting a bit anxious. Would it be too soon to email them or should I just give it more time?

      Do I ever feel? There isn't a single minute that goes by that I feel that way. I have such a strong hate for what I have that there isn't a word out there for it.

      I already tried that. Either too old like 60's and 70's or married. Not many people who would want to date a trans woman in dead red Mississippi. Maybe once things calm down just get a Mustang GT and just give up on it. Both are going to bring joy and pain. At least I could learn and share my love of cars with my kids when they get that old. I wouldn't even know what to do if someone said they wanted me. I would've already been thinking in my mind they are just going to ghost me so what's the point. I just don't know what to do anymore. I tried putting myself out there online and out in person. I haven't tried a bar yet although that's probably a bad idea. Maybe just to experience it again. I haven't been to one since 2013. The only problem I see is I'm not a night owl for sure. I go to bed at 8-830. My expectations were just that I wouldn't get rejected last. I have been able to handle a good bit of it but this one really hurt. I guess that's what happens when you have some hopes and expectations. It's not like I have another friend IRL to talk about this. She is my only one. I wished I didn't put myself out there.

      Political candidate, who linked pedophiles with LGBTQIA+, gains preselection approval.

      By VickySGV · Posted

      As one who had to deal with the Porn/Adult Entertainment business as commercial, taxpaying businesses on a professional level, I can say that they are in it for money and the highest percentage of their income comes from ultra conservative areas where adequate Medical and Mental Health Profession and University Science instruction on Trans issues are banned.    It makes me wonder how much porn literature is hidden behind the 13 Bibles and Bible Study guides on some people's family bookshelves.

      There's the old thing of getting out and getting involved in things in the community and meeting people that way. Does your church have a food pantry? Does it have service opportunities you could plug into otherwise? You might run into someone that way.

      Well that didn't go well. She said she is intentionally single. When will I just stop thinking about putting myself out there. It really hurt but rejection and getting ghosted is just my second language apparently. The one person I have told all my dark secrets and didn't run off. At least we are friends. I'm happy only when I'm sleeping and that is it because things actually go my way from time to time. Just another wonderful day of me. SMDH!

      In their minds, yes, unless it is clearly, consistently, forcefully articulated by those who represent trans people that we are not.  I'm not sure who that would be.

      So, this proves that we're all  pedophiles? I suspect that the majority of pedophiles are probably cis.   Yeah, Alexander the Great was probably queer.  What does this have to do with me needing to pee?   I am so tired of this ___.  I raised 8 kids and never molested any of them - unless you count changing diapers without closing my eyes.  Yeah… so tired.   It makes me wonder what is actually on these people's minds.
