Active Duty looking for therapist in Fayetteville NC

[Guest Loeri]

First post here. I am a mtf with 3 years left on my enlistment which I currently plan to finish out. That said, I need to talk to someone, I can't keep this to myself anymore. I was hoping someone here might be able to recommend a good transsexual therapist in the fayetteville area. I have googled but I am leery to see someone without getting a reference I feel I can trust.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Loeri,

Welcome to Laura's Playground. You can find a list of gender therapists on this page.

Hey loeri. I live in vass. I use laureen thomas in sanford at hopeful horizons. Shes a great listener and is very affordable. Tell her ryan sent you :-)

[Guest XFaelanX]

If I was you I would check out http://psychologytoday.com/ it's a great site. You can do a search with your zip code and then you can filter the results for someone that deals with transsexual issues. This is off the subject but are you stationed at no hope pope? I spent 2 years there. Just curious you don't have answer if you don't want to.

Pope is now just part of bragg.

Hi Loeri,

Welcome to the family of Laura's Playground (LP), you'll find many resources here as well as many friends. MaryEllen has already provided you with the link to LP's reputable site of gender therapist. One note regarding the link; if you do not find a therapist in your area don't be dismayed, I found my therapist from LP's link and am currently having sessions with her via Skype, since she is out of Pennsylvania. So you see, you will be able to rely on a good therapist without having to have one at Fayetteville.

Btw, I spent over eight years in the regular army plus twenty-eight months in a mobilized status and serving one year in Iraq. I am presently in the Army National Guard out of Arkansas. If you need to talk to anyone from a military perspective there are plenty of us, mostly former, military service members in whom you can talk and I'll be the first to say that you can PM me anytime you feel the need or desire to talk.

Here you go, http://www.army.mil/article/52441/ <- transfer of Pope from Pope Are Force Base to simply Pope Airfield.

I don't mind giving out information about me if asked, but I am terrible about volunteering it ahead of time.

~Loeri

P.S. as I am sure some of you have wondered (I get it a lot) it's pronounced just like Laurie.

Thanks! All the counselors I found were at least an hour away, Laureen is half that distance! Sent her an email.

Interesting article. Thank you for posting it.

Due to our busy schedules the earliest Laureen can see me is the 19th. I was really hoping to see someone sooner than that, but I am leery of simply picking someone off a website without talking to someone about them first. I considered an online counselor, but walls are thin round these parts and my neighbors work with me. I will attempt to possess my soul in patience and wait till the19h.

Loeri,

I know this is a bit of a drive for you, but here is the link to the Raleigh LGBT Center: http://www.lgbtcenters.org/Centers/North-Carolina/1014/LGBT-Center-of-Raleigh.aspx. They may be able to put you in contact with a Therapist.

[Guest Loeri]

Thanks Crissy,

I might swing up there this weekend and check it out.

[Guest dream2bfemale]

Hi Loeri i am pretty much inthe same boat and would enjoy some chat and support

[Guest KathleenMarie27]

Hey loeri, laureen is worth the wait. She makes therapy feel like the beat thing in the world.

[Guest Loeri]

So, less than a week till I see Laureen... or to be more correct, when I am supposed to see here. If next week is anything like this week I won't be off work until well after my appointment time. I sent her an email about it today, the thought of not getting to go has me kinda bummed out.

[Guest Loeri]

I hope I didn't look too antsy in the Platoon SGT Meeting today. Despite it finishing 25 minutes earlier than usual I was still almost 40 minutes late to my appointment, but I did make it KathleenMarie27! Laureen let me go well past 5pm, I doubt she had 5 minutes before her next appointment. Can't wait to see her again, and very glad I won't have to wait two and a half weeks for the next session.
