I believe every person has the right to feel at home in their body and authentic in their relationships. I provide ongoing therapy for LGBTQIA clients who struggle with feelings of anxiety, depression and PTSD, and who need an empathetic space free of judgement to make meaning of their experiences. I am certified in EMDR, which is a clinically proven modality used to reduce the symptoms of trauma created by bullying, abuse and sexual assaults. My specializations also involve conducting assessments, particularly for adolescents interested in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and adults seeking top or bottom affirmation procedures. The assessment process involves collaborative, interview-style discussions spanning multiple sessions, typically less than six. Parents or guardians of clients under 18 may also have separate sessions to address any concerns. We explore life history, gender development, and mental health, ensuring a holistic understanding. These assessments adhere to the standards set by World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), adjusting based on age and the type of gender affirmation sought.
Importantly, these assessments never dictate your gender identity; it remains a deeply personal journey. We evaluate the impact of gender dysphoria, potential challenges, and readiness for affirmation. If necessary, therapeutic elements may be included. With your consent, I may consult with other healthcare professionals, family members, or educators. Subsequently, a comprehensive report is provided to the supporting medical professional, facilitating your gender affirmation journey.
I would highly recommend Andrea Tomoe as a therapist. She has a great depth of knowledge in mental health, natural empathy, and is a wonderful support. The tools and methods she employs are effective and tailored to individual needs and preferences. Working with her is inspiring, and her helpful insights have had a profound impact on my life.
Andrea Tomoe is an exceptional therapist and yoga teacher who treats individuals holistically. She has made such an incredible difference in my life. I highly recommend her for personal growth, trauma work, and over all well-being.
