I am on the lookout for a therapist in Northern VA for my son who claims that he is a girl and wants us to call him by the appropriate pronoun and his new name. I am so very desperate to find a therapist who will not affirm. He is 17 years old soon to be 18 and wants to take hormones which I am not for. I am willing to talk to anybody who will explain to him about he harmful effects of cross sex hormones.
Everyday is a nightmare literally. I am constantly walking on eggshells around him not knowing when he will lash out.
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Please help!
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions
Hi, I hope you found a therapist who does not necessarily affirm but has a more holistic therapeutic approach, and would appreciate your sharing the information with us. We are struggling to find one. Our adult daughter is seeking top surgery. Thank you.
Hi, RaIn,
Apologies for the late reply, but I just saw on X that Laura Becker, a detransitioner, is offering coaching services. I am assuming she offers her services remotely, but I'm not certain. If you've been unable to find someone locally, perhaps she would work with your daughter remotely, if your daughter is open to working with a detransitioner. Her bio on X says:
I am a detransitioner, advocate, and author fighting gender ideology and promoting healing and personal growth for young people in America.
As a survivor of the trans cult who reclaimed my life, I write and speak internationally on the gender crisis, including testifying at the supreme court, starring in the Daily Wire film Identity Crisis, and publishing my upcoming book Surviving the Trans Myth: A Detransition Memoir.
I offer consultation services for detransitioners, parents, and anyone affected by gender issues in their lives. We all need someone to talk to who's been there and understands without judgment. I can help you process your situation, provide support, and brainstorm solutions that will improve your quality of life.
My values when helping others (and throughout my life) include pursuit of truth, courage, acceptance, growth, and transcendence through reflection and empowerment.
Contact me for help by DM or email: laurabeckerofficial@gmail.com
Remember, YOU are powerful, loved, and healing is very possible!

I am another distressed dad with a 14 years old adolescent with ROGD. Same as many, it was student, came with anxiety and depression, and we are terrified of starting chemical and hormonal treatments.
Does anyone know of a GD critical therapist in Florida in the West Palm Beach area?
Hi there,
I am a distressed dad from Pembroke Pines (South Florida) with a 12-year-old daughter who has anxiety and ROGD. Could you please share your daughter's therapist? Or can anyone recommend therapists in Florida we can meet in person or remotely? I just activated my account (not sure if it's called a member account) today, and it seems I can't DM other members yet. If you could reply to this message, I will try to reach back. THANK YOU ALL!!!

I feel she needs someone that helps her understand that confusing feelings are normal and helps her learn to be comfortable with herself.Hi there, did you ever find a therapist for your child? Do you mind sharing their contact info? thanks!
Hello,
My 16 year-old daughter recently came out as transgender. Did you ever find a reliable non-affirming therapist? If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You,

RE: finding reliable medical practitioners - SallyGreenwood - 20-May-2026
I was very much like to look into finding a good therapist for my son. The last one we went to check an hour trying to convince me to affirm my son. Left me in a very confused and vulnerable state. Right now I very much like to hear from a therapist who can give me the other side because I'm not sure if I'm getting the right advice. Though at the same time I know that I'm not a medical doctor myself so perhaps maybe I don't know as much as say other people You are more medical experience maybe I should trust this therapist but I'm just not sure. I live in Fort Wayne Indiana by the way. I just don't know what to do right now.
Do I trust the therapist and affirm or do I get a second opinion and follow my heart. I really don't know My heart says don't do it but maybe this therapist is right I really don't know.

Hi Sally!
Please do not affirm or trust any therapist who advises you to do so. Please check out the following organizations. Your instincts not to lie to your son and go along with this lunacy are correct. Things get dicey with older kids who are capable of getting institutions to grant them legal privacy protections from you, and of course old fashion rebellion is always a risk with some kids.
Please don't lose faith in your knowledge of our own child, but also I would recommend reading some of the advice on these organizations' sites:
