You wonder: Will I ever feel good about myself? What if I never feel legitimate?
You feel like you haven't quite convinced yourself it's okay to simply exist as who you are. 

A familiar narrative of the transgender and/or non-binary experience is that gender exploration and transition equals suffering and anxiety.
Is it possible that transition could feel more like a process of curiosity, discovery, and empowerment? 

That is the question we are driven by within our practice of inclusive gender therapy in Chicago and Illinois.

We want to make gender exploration and transition easier by addressing common sources of anxiety throughout transition, asking good questions to help our clients uncover more about their identities, assess their desire and readiness to come out and/or medically transition, and develop coping skills that work at each phase of transition.
