We understand the significant impact that discrimination can have on a person’s health and willingness to engage with healthcare providers.

We are committed to working with and alongside all clients, respecting each person’s unique worldview and health needs.

Gender Affirmation Services

Many trans and gender diverse people face a range of barriers and challenges that can impact their ability to participate in important activities (‘occupations’), including discrimination, social isolation, and physical or mental health concerns.

Occupational Therapists work with clients through a holistic, collaborative approach to support them to self-reflect, problem-solve, and integrate new skills/strategies into their daily routines. This can empower someone to affirm their gender in a safe and meaningful way.

An Occupational Therapist can help you to:

Explore your identity in a non-judgmental space
Safely engage in activities that support your gender expression (e.g., tucking, binding, use of prosthetics, make-up)
Understand social, medical, and legal affirmation processes
Develop self-advocacy skills
Address social, dating, or intimacy issues, including sexual health education
Develop strategies to cope with mental health challenges
Manage chronic health conditions
Connect with community groups
Prepare for gender-affirming medical procedures including support with the recovery process
