So, I need some advice and I don’t know who to reach out to about it, I don’t know that any of you would know but I’m putting it out here just in case. Under a cut for serious stuffs.

So, I’m planning on starting therapy, probably after the first of the year. I finally got my dad to send me the insurance info I need since I’m still on his plan. (Didn’t come out to him yet, but ah well)

The thing is, I have no idea how to pick a therapist. I don’t plan on specifically doing gender therapy, as it’s more that my problems with guilt and feelings and the Thing that never got properly dealt with are just brought into the light more than ever as I come to terms with being Not A Woman. I dunno that a gender therapist would be the person to talk to about the Thing or my relationship with my parents or any of that stuff. BUT I also know that if I got a therapist who wasn’t well versed in LGBT stuff it’ll do hella more damage than not going at all (and not going, at this juncture, is causing damage). So like, I dunno, is there a Rate My Psychologist like there is for professors? Could I got to a gender therapist and still deal with other issues with them?
