Specialized Gender Therapy for Trans Adults
Expert assessment and treatment for gender dysphoria. Get meaningful clarity in 3-6 sessions, not 6-18 months - 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:
I provide diagnostic precision that comes from assessing 7,200+ gender presentations. You know your experience - I know what it means clinically and what paths lead to which outcomes.
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 assessment that provides clarity—not gatekeeping. I don't block your path; I help you understand what your path actually is and where it leads.

Why Specialized Expertise Matters
What you get with focused, specialized practice:
✓ Faster clarity - Faster clarity - Pattern recognition from 7,200+ cases means I identify in Session 1 what takes general therapists 6-12 sessions to even recognize.
✓ Diagnostic precision - I distinguish gender dysphoria from trauma responses, neurodivergent experiences, OCD patterns, and other conditions that general therapists often miss or conflate.
✓ Cost efficiency - Cost efficiency - $1,050-3,300 for specialized assessment vs. $2,000-8,000+ exploring with a generalist who's learning about gender dysphoria as they treat you.
✓ Nationwide access - Secure telehealth for US and international clients. Assessment letters for CA, TX, NY, FL residents.
