People can often express in written words what they cannot express in person. It can offer the freedom to think privately about what needs to be said and communicate back and forth at your own pace. At the same time, an individual may be spared any discomfort about speaking particular thoughts out loud.

I also specialize in providing counseling to the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community for everyday situations or more severe concerns.

Most people take better care of their cars than their own emotional health. Every once in a while, your psyche needs a tune-up too.

Potential Benefits of Online Counseling

Being able to send and receive messages at any time of day or night Never having to leave messages with intermediaries, voice mail, and telephone tag Being able to take as long as one wants to compose and having the opportunity to reflect upon one's messages Automatically having a record of communications (I will Email you the transcript from our counseling session if you would like) to refer to later Feeling less inhibited than in person

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I can assist with many of the associated difficulties encountered when trying to reach your ultimate goal of 'real life' experience and 'self-identification' in your specific gender. Online I offer a thorough assessment of readiness within a time limited framework. If at the end of the assessment period you are ready for surgery you will receive the appropriate letters of recommendation for hormone meds treatment or any other supporting documents which can then be forwarded on to your chosen Doctor. The assessment adheres to the standards and guidelines as laid down by the WPATH standards (current version 7) criteria.

If you feel that you could benefit from the counseling that I offer, please send an e-mail to brandnewdaycounseling@gmail.com or fill out our contact form.
