Gender Wellness of Los Angeles (GWLA) provides counseling for transgender people and their families coping with transsexualism, crossdressing, and/or sexual orientation issues.
We offer special sensitivity and awareness to transgender people with respect to:
- Transitioning in accord with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health criteria.
- Coping with crossdressing and how it affects one’s spouse or partner.
- Sexual orientation
- S.T.D. risk prevention
- Coping with H.I.V.
Our MtF support group is open to new members. The individual can be at any stage in their transition and not need to be living as female full time. This group is designed to be a place where participants can explore issues in a safe and caring environment. Issues that may be discussed include the following:
- Starting on hormones and how they will affect you
- Coming out to family and friends
- Providers who are sensitive to the T/G community
- Medical Considerations
- Dating and Sexuality
- How to come out at the work place
- What legal documents are needed to transition
- Healing painful memories/grief issues
The group meets on Monday nights from 6:30-8 p.m. The fee for the group is $50.00 per session and a 3 month commitment is encouraged. An initial free consultation is required before joining the group. For more information or to set up an appointment please contact Casey Weitzman, M.A.
