Gender-Affirming Letter of Support

For individuals seeking gender-affirming medical care, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or gender-affirming surgeries, navigating the healthcare system can often be a complex and emotionally taxing process. Many medical providers require a letter of support from a mental health professional to move forward with these treatments. While this requirement is meant to ensure informed care, we understand that it can create an unnecessary barrier to accessing the life-affirming services you need to live authentically, and that seeking out therapy may not necessarily be a choice you made.

At Resilience, we are deeply committed to making this process as respectful, compassionate, and supportive as possible. We believe in building a strong, trusting relationship with you before writing a gender-affirming letter of support, ensuring that we have a comprehensive understanding of your experiences, needs, and goals. This relationship allows us to honor your autonomy and trust that you know what is best for your body and identity.

Our goal is to provide an affirming and non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely. The letter-writing process will be approached with care and sensitivity, making it a smooth and efficient part of your transition. We believe in your right to access gender-affirming care and will work to support you in getting the treatments that align with your true self.

You deserve care that honors and affirms who you are, and we are here to help facilitate that process in a way that respects your autonomy, dignity, and identity. We invite you to contact us for a free consultation so we can begin the journey of understanding, healing, and embracing your full, authentic self.
