Transgender Resources in the Washington, DC region
Some clients seek out gender-affirming therapy, medical care, hormone replacement therapy, and legal services such as those related to a name and gender marker change. Below I’ve listed several health and legal professionals in the Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC area.
Gender Therapists in the DMV and PA
Many clients ask me about gender therapists local to Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Washington, DC. Some therapists offer remote therapy while others may only see people in person.

Two prominent LGBT clinics in the area offer a full array of transgender medical services including gender therapy, hormone replacement therapy, primary care medicine, legal services, and more. My wife, who is transgender, uses Whitman-Walker Health for her primary care and gender therapy and recommends it to everyone who can access it.
