I am in need of finding a good psycholgist/psychiatrist in NYC who is experienced and has a reputation working with teenagers (my 16 daughter) who could be on a path to transgender and wants to start the homo therapy. She has been in conseling for the last 6 months. My wife and I have gone through the process with her. We are not thrilled with the one we have. Like to get a second professioal opinion before giving the consent to begin the process. We just want to be sure. Appreciated.

the fact that you wrote (autocorrect? freudian slip?) “homo therapy” instead of “hormone therapy” tells me a lot

I meant hormone therapy. A typo. Just want to make sure it is the right path for her now. We have met with the endocrinologist. Waiting for a recommendation from our psychiatrist to move forward. The conselor and endocrinologist we have are fine and we are comfortable with them. The psychiatrist however is not as experienced with LGBTQ。 As her parents, we are going through a lot and like to get a 2nd professional opinion.

sorry. i guess i flashed back to my parents making me meet with a behavioral therapist whose specialty was human sexuality etc etc after i came out to them as a teenager. and projected on you.

i’m glad you’re helping your kid navigate this process conscientiously.
