Hello,

I joined Crossdresser Heaven about two months ago (I think for the second time)-under a new moniker. I am discerning whether I may be more at home on this site.

I noticed the link to therapists on THIS site just goes to a Psychology Today search engine.

Does anyone in the United States have a good suggestion on how to find a therapist who is experienced with gender affirming care of older adults? I am 53 and just now coming to terms with this part of me. I met via telehealth a couple of times with a therapist who I didn't mesh with-combination of things.

Also it would be helpful if they are an Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield provider and also they are capable and willing to do telehealth appointments.

Thanks for any specific suggestions. Search engines are not inspiring confidence.

@melissasweet70  Hi Melissa,  I am always looking for good professionals who understand intersex folks (and usually they would also understand trans folks too) but generally find the medical establishment woefully lacking.  I'm on a large local hospital chain committee to try to rectify all this but it seems to me that it will be another 10-15 years before things catch up.  Just keep looking and trying.  Perhaps you have a transgender association somewhere in your area that has a listing with recommendations.  Good luck,  Marg

@margprodue Thank you.  No return calls from one therapy practice that advertises as catering to trans community. Disappointing.

Hi Melissa, welcome to TGH, we have chatted on CDH. I'm not US so not a lot of help but I'm sure you will find support and answers here!
