KALEIDOSCOPE COUNSELING
IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING...
CAN YOU DO READINESS EVALUATIONS/LETTERS?
I believe in Informed Consent to gender affirming health care. I believe there should not be barriers to treatment. I will help you navigate getting the care you need in whatever way is most appropriate for your circumstance. We can talk about how to have conversations with your medical providers regarding Informed Consent, I can advocate on your behalf AND I can do readiness evaluations and write letters for that purpose. Each situation is unique.
CAN YOU TALK TO MY
DOCTOR / TEACHER / EMPLOYER?
My goal would be to empower you to be able to find your own voice and strength to have conversations with others. I also know that sometimes advocacy is necessary. I am able to consult with others if it is appropriate and would do so only with your consent.
DO I HAVE TO IDENTIFY AS LGBTQ+ TO SCHEDULE WITH YOU?
I have experience working with very wide spectrum of folks. I understand that someone may not identify as LGBTQ but might want gender affirming care. I also know the LGBTQ+ umbrella is not a catch-all.
But beyond this, I have experience with Veterans, folks who are houseless, people with persistent mental illnesses, teenagers and aging adults. I have experience navigating social service systems. I am dedicated to being an advocate for folks on the LGBTQ spectrum because I believe it is necessary work, but I am of course, open to working with anyone who is a good fit. Please be in touch to schedule a free 15 minute introduction.

​I currently do not bill insurance. There are a few reasons why and I am happy to discuss them with you. However, I am in process of becoming in network with Medicaid and Medicare and will update this site when this accomplished. I offer some sliding scale spots ($80-$125). Please let me know if you would like to discuss this option. Thank you!
