Gender Therapists in the San Antonio/Austin area?

[Guest Luna_Luv2942]

I am wondering if there are any good therapist that are in or near San Antonio and Austin Texas. By good I mean one that is experienced with their profession and have good reviews from other clients, also be nice if they are not expensive. Thank you!

I am not sure that these more specific questions get answered because they are so localized. I was born in SA and went to school in Austin - and know there are good trans communities in both cities. Bit I left there 45 years ago (I am an old grey mare!) So I really don't know sources. I know of one member here but she isn't active anymore - I suppose I could PM her for you, let me try.

I have many Facebook friends from that area, but we don't discuss gender therapists, I donno why. You might try Facebook for this.

Good luck and I am sure you will find someone.

Feminist therapist with expertise in issues related to gender and sexuality. Weekend hours and sliding scale fees available. "Given the growing need for gender specialists and the lack of resources for Texas residents in the more remote areas, I am now offering phone and online therapy sessions for non-local clients. My approach to therapy: My theoretical orientation is a blending of a number of approaches, including feminist, humanist, gestalt, cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and psychodynamic. I view my work with clients as a collaborative process that empowers them rather than one that fosters their dependency upon me. I also situate client difficulties within their sociocultural context, which means that I attend to such factors as sexism, homophobia, transphobia, racism, classism and other societal forces that contribute to human suffering."
