Specialized Gender Therapy for Trans Adults
Expert assessment and treatment for gender dysphoria. Get clarity in 3-6 sessions with a psychologist who has dedicated 20 years exclusively to transgender care.
Expert Guidance for Your Gender Journey
If you're experiencing gender dysphoria, questioning your identity, or navigating transition decisions, specialized expertise makes all the difference.
After 20 years and 7,200+ cases focused exclusively on gender dysphoria, I've developed the clinical frameworks to provide efficient, accurate assessment and targeted treatment.
Most clients achieve meaningful clarity within 3-6 sessions—not because we rush, but because specialized expertise eliminates months of exploratory questioning.
Whether you're in early-stage questioning, planning transition, managing complex presentations, or working through post-transition concerns, you deserve expertise that accelerates your path to clarity.
Dr. Z, Your Gender Identity Specialist
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist specializing exclusively in transgender and gender non-conforming adults.
My expertise:
20 years of focused practice in gender dysphoria and identity assessment
7,200+ clients served across all stages of gender exploration and transition
Court-appointed expert witness on gender identity in California
Licensed in California, Texas, New York, and Florida
What this means for you:
Rather than learning about gender dysphoria while treating you, I draw from two decades of pattern recognition across thousands of presentations—providing precision assessment, efficient treatment, and informed guidance.
I specialize in complex cases involving trauma, neurodivergence, atypical narratives, mental health complexity, late-life realization, and situations where transition isn't straightforward.
My approach: Evidence-based, non-gatekeeping, and tailored to your unique circumstances. You remain the expert on your experience—I provide the clinical framework to help you understand it.
