GPP /CATS - Gender Identity Clinic

Range of Services

The Gender Identity Clinic offers consultations, support and time-limited counselling to anyone who wishes to explore issues related to their cross-dressing or any degree of transgendered expression.

This includes those who wish to manage their cross-gender feelings and the expression of those feelings while remaining in their original gender role as well as those questioning their level of adaptation to the cross-dressing or transgendered behaviour.

The Gender Identity Clinic provides counseling 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 weekly 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. Once we receive this referral form we will contact you or the referral source, whichever you prefer, and arrange next steps.

Your initial consultation will involve meeting with one or more clinicians. Shortly afterward, we will provide recommendations and encourage you to contact the clinic to discuss these further.
