What is Gender Affirming care?

   Gender-affirming care encompasses a range of services that support individuals in aligning their physical appearance and identity with their gender. For someone suffering from Gender Dysphoria or Gender Identity Disorder, this care is essential in promoting mental and physical well-being and is an integral part of healthcare for transgender, non-binary, and other gender-diverse individuals.

                                                    Our Services â€‹

We offer a variety of gender-affirming services, including but not limited to:

  • Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Personalized hormone therapy to help align your physical appearance with your gender identity.

  • Surgical Referrals and Support: Guidance and referrals for gender-affirming surgeries, with ongoing support before and after your procedure.

  • Mental Health Support: Collaborating with mental health professionals to ensure holistic care.

  • Primary and Preventative Care: Comprehensive healthcare that respects and affirms your gender identity.
