Self-expression
We do not believe a person should be required to get a letter from a mental health provider to access medically necessary care. However, many medical providers and insurers still require this. We will provide assessments for letters that meet the WPATH Standards of Care as long as this is necessary to support trans and non-binary folx in getting the care they need. Please schedule an assessment if you need a:
-
Letter for gender affirmation hormones
-
Letter for gender affirmation surgery

Secondary letter for bottom surgery
