This 4-hour workshop will focus on the complexities of gender identity development for transgender individuals, as well as effective models of psychotherapeutic care for this population. We will begin by exploring the distinct spectra of sex, gender identity, and gender expression. Workshop participants will gain understanding and clarity around the diversity of gender presentation and identity, as well as gender identity development across the lifespan. Transgender community concerns will be discussed as it relates to presenting concerns in psychotherapy. We will end the workshop by exploring the role of the cisgender ally clinician.
