has anyone had good experiences with these two LMFT's?

[jae bear]

I am going to interview with two local LMFT's and was hoping someone might have had good experiences with them or could recommend someone that was not to far away from them... I called both Michael Joy and Lida Vala near san jose, I hope one of them is qualified both for gender and marriage, I'm going to need both.

Hugs,

There actually is no formal qualification for "Gender Therapists" in any state, but if they are comfortable with counseling you and do not practice Conversion Therapy or say they can "cure" you of being Transgender, it should be ok.  This will be a personal but professional relationship that they will perform legally and ethically.  If they are on our list here though, they are probably safe to contact at least.

Thanks girls, I did get the refferences from the resource guide here... and I did read that top post when doing my research. I am anxious about it, but I want to talk to someone so bad! I wish I had some understanding friends nearby that I could spill my guts to...

squishy hugs,

Jae
