For anyone questioning their gender, navigating transition, or needing space to process.
Looking for a gender-affirming therapist in Michigan? You are in the right place. We offer in-person therapy in Lansing, MI, and virtually across Michigan. Transgender and gender diverse care is one of our main specialties.
A space to explore, without an agenda
Gender-affirming therapy provides a safe place to say out loud what you have been feeling. Some of what people bring to this work: questioning or exploring gender, coming out to yourself and others, dealing with dysphoria, finding euphoria and joy in your gender. Whatever it is you want to process in therapy, we are here for it.
What we don’t do
We can not define your gender for you. There is nothing you need to do to make your gender valid to us, either. Your gender identity is valid because it is your identity. We can help you explore and process, but we do not determine your gender or what you decide to do or not do in regard to gender expression, sharing your identity with others, medical interventions, etc.
Support for medical transition, following WPATH Standards
If your path includes medical steps like gender-affirming surgery, we can help with that part too. We follow the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care, the recognized, evidence-based framework for gender-affirming medical care.
Why folks choose us
We’re an affirming practice at our core. Many of our therapists are part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community; some are transgender, non-binary, or gender diverse as well. Gender-affirming care is central to who we are. You won’t have to educate your therapist about basic terms, worry that they don’t know what they are doing, or worry that this isn’t a safe place. That groundwork is already done, so you can spend your energy on you.

We work hard to make therapy as accessible as possible. We accept several insurance plans, including several Medicaid plans, and offer a grant to cover therapy as well.
Meet your future therapist
Research shows the single biggest predictor of whether therapy helps is the therapeutic relationship between the two of you. When you trust your therapist, feel safe with them, and agree on what you’re working toward together, therapy works better. Feeling heard, safe, and understood, including in your identity and culture, is what makes the hard work of therapy possible. We do our best to find you a great match, and your input matters.

A note about calling 911
If you or someone else is in immediate danger and you need to call 911, please know that police are not trained to provide mental health care. For Black and Brown people, trans people, disabled people, and people in psychiatric crisis, a police response can make things more dangerous. If you can, ask a friend, neighbor, or family member to be there with you when they arrive.
