Gender counseling services

Gynecology gender services

Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT)
For many transgender patients, hormone therapy is the first medical step. We will work with you to create therapies that help you meet your goals.
Hormone therapy is medication designed to increase or decrease estrogen or testosterone. GHAT can help to change certain physical characteristics that are often gendered. This helps to better align a person's physical characteristics with their experienced internal gender identity.
