Trans Seattlites: Looking for a therapist recommendation
Hey all,
I know this is very specific within the Seattle community, but there's not really a better subreddit for it (there's basically only crickets at /r/SeattleLGBT and /r/SeattleTransCommunity), so I'm posting here. Broader community, please have patience with us 🙏
I'm finally getting back on the horse and looking for a therapist. As you all probably know, it's hard as hell to find a good therapist who I don't have to explain the basics of daily life being trans to so we can get down to the real business.
And then on top of that, we're competing with everyone who needs a therapist, which makes it really hard to find someone with speciality in treating trans folks and also having available appointment times.
I'm wondering if anyone here has recommendations on clinics or clinicians with a specialty focus on trans folks, and who you might be able to refer me to? Probably best to DM me if you're recommending a specific therapist, just to protect their identity.
I tried Mindful Therapy Group in the past, but they jerked me around a lot so I ended up leaving them (lying to me about therapists with experience in treating trans people, irregular sessions, constant rescheduling, etc.).
I'm fine with doing online counseling if I need to look out of state, but I'd prefer to find someone within the state following the same state laws I'm following, if you catch my drift.
Appreciate any help yall can give me.
