Gender-Affirming Care
I'm Corinne, a licensed psychologist and one of the few licensed intersex psychologists in the nation. Gender identity isn't a specialty I added to a list — it's clinical work I've built my career around, and it's personal to me. I work with transgender, non-binary, and intersex clients of every age, and with the parents and families walking alongside them.
A Specialist, Not a Generalist
Plenty of therapists list gender identity among a dozen specialties, and no one verifies it. This work asks for more than good intentions — it asks for real familiarity with how gender dysphoria and gender exploration present across a lifetime, and for the diagnostic training to tell them apart from the depression, anxiety, and trauma that so often arrive alongside them.
My doctoral training is in assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment. My clinical background includes work at LGBTQIA+ centers, and I've collaborated with neurologists, geneticists, endocrinologists, and human development experts on research into best practices, development, and parenting within the LGBTQIA+ community. I'm also the author of Gender Centered.
Through my PSYPACT license, I provide affirming care to clients in 45+ states, including many where LGBTQIA+ friendly services are under threat.
What I Offer
- Gender Dysphoria Assessment — a thorough evaluation for clarity, documentation, or support letters
- Gender Transition Therapy — therapy for social, medical, and logistical decisions, at your pace
- Gender Detransition Support — care for anyone reconsidering, pausing, or reversing a transition, without judgment
- Parent & Family Support — support for parents processing a child's gender identity, or for the whole family together
What You Can Expect
- Your name and pronouns used correctly, in session and in every piece of paperwork I control
- No predetermined path — you will not be pushed toward transition or away from it
- No conversion therapy, ever, in any form or under any label
- Questioning and uncertainty welcomed, for as long as they take
- Real clinical work with evidence-based methods — careful and supportive are not opposites
- Parents of minors treated as partners in the work, with a teen's private space respected in ways we agree on together
Whether you've known for decades, started questioning recently, are weighing a decision, are reconsidering one you already made, or are a parent trying to respond well to something your child just told you — none of it is too early, too late, or too uncertain to bring to a first call.
