About CAMH

Gender Identity ClinicRange of Services The Adult Gender Identity Clinic offers consultations and support to anyone over 18 who wishes to explore issues related to their gender identity or gender dysphoria (which may include any degree of transgender expression). We also conduct comprehensive assessments for transsexual clients seeking hormone treatment and/or sex reassignment surgery. The Gender Identity Clinic provides psychoeducational sessions to families and consultation to employers of clinic clients, provided we have your signed consent. Otherwise all consultations are strictly confidential. The clinic also offers group support for those who have already been seen for consultation and received this recommendation. The Consultation Process In order for you to be seen for consultation, the clinic requires a referral from a physician. This may be your family doctor, psychiatrist or any other licensed physician. Ask the doctor’s office to call the CAMH program secretary at 416-535-8501 x 6833 to request the CAMH Adult Referral Form (or print it out now). It must be faxed to the GIC at 416-583-1360 Be sure your doctor has all the most up-to-date contact information for you. Once we receive the referral, we will send you for a brief questionnaire to fill out. When we receive your completed questionnaire, we will book your initial assessment appointments with the clinic. Given the volume of people we see, it may be a number of months after we receive your questionnaire that you are seen for initial assessment.
