Overview
TransThriving is a therapeutic wellness program for gender-diverse youth and their families.
This unique program provides clinical support services to youth and family members through all aspects of gender exploration. Our team partners collaboratively with your family and other professionals in the community to assure continuity of care.
With unparalleled dedication and experience, our staff attunes to the needs of each family and young person. We help guide your family toward whatever outcome serves you best.
Our Mission
TransThriving formed to help you and your child/adolescent thrive through any challenges that arise from gender exploration. Our wrap-around approach provides support to the entire family as you navigate this sometimes-perplexing, unique path.
We strive to provide gender sensitive care that permits the child with gender concerns to fully express their internal gender identity, while addressing the needs of all involved. We have created a therapeutic environment built out of love, compassion, and supportive understanding.
It is distressing to realize your sense of self does not match up with who you see in the mirror. This distress can trickle through the whole family.
Parents sometimes find themselves at odds with their kid, feeling overwhelmed and grief stricken at the notion of having a gender-diverse child. Some family members feel unable to relate, as if they don’t know who the young person is anymore.
We realize the barriers that parents may encounter when seeking the right care for their child. The myriad of medical, legal, and social needs that intersect when supporting a gender-diverse youth can be truly overwhelming.
Every part of your life can be affected: family, school, sports teams, health and wellbeing, social environments. It is our mission to help your family navigate these complex systems.
