Gender Transition Therapy
Transition is a series of decisions, each with its own weight: a name, pronouns, how you present, timing, workplaces, family conversations, and sometimes medical steps. I won't steer you toward transition or away from it. My job is to help you think each step through clearly and make the decisions that are yours to make.
Who You'll Work With
Hi, I'm Corinne.
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist (PsyD) with extensive experience supporting trauma survivors and marginalized communities. You'll work directly with me at every step. I run every session and sign every evaluation myself. More about me →

Transition decisions, dysphoria, and the rest of life
Exploration & Clarity
Sorting out what you feel and what it means, at your pace, with no pressure toward any conclusion.
Living With Dysphoria Day to Day
Body image, mirrors and photos, social situations, dating, and the exhaustion of managing all of it while the rest of life keeps going.
Decisions & Logistics
Thinking through social or medical steps, timing, workplaces, and family conversations with someone who knows the terrain.
Everything Around It
Anxiety, depression, trauma, school, relationships, work. Gender is rarely the only thing going on, and the rest needs treatment too.
No conversion therapy and no set destination
- Your name and pronouns, used correctly in session and on every piece of paperwork I control.
- No predetermined path. You will not be pushed toward transition or away from it.
- No conversion therapy of any kind, under any label, ever.
- Questioning and uncertainty are welcome for as long as they take.
- For minors, parents are involved as partners, and a teen's private space is respected in ways we agree on together.
From the first call to weekly sessions
Free 15-Minute Consultation
We talk about what's going on and what you want therapy to do. You don't need to have decided anything to book it.
Your First Session
If we move forward, your first session goes deeper on your story and your goals.
Weekly Sessions
Most people start with weekly sessions, and we adjust the rhythm together as things change. Therapy should be moving you somewhere, and the schedule follows that.
Sessions run over a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, available to clients in 45+ states through my PSYPACT license.

Questions about starting transition therapy
Do I need to have decided to transition before starting therapy?
No. This work supports exploration and clarity just as much as active transition. There's no requirement to have decided anything before your first session.
Can you help with the practical side, not just the emotional side?
Yes. Timing, workplaces, family conversations, and social or medical steps all get worked through alongside the emotional side, with someone who knows the terrain.
What if I also have anxiety, depression, or trauma?
That's common, and it gets treated directly as part of this work. Gender is rarely the only thing going on, and the rest needs attention too.
Do you work with minors on transition-related therapy?
Yes, with parents involved as partners and a teen's private space respected in ways agreed on together. See Parent & Family Support for the parent-facing side of this work.
