Gender-Affirming Care Evaluations
Dr. Sample provides gender-affirming care evaluations for adults seeking psychological assessment and documentation related to gender-affirming treatment. The evaluation process is intended to be respectful, collaborative, and responsive to each person's individual circumstances and goals.
For individuals seeking a WPATH letter, the evaluation focuses on understanding the person's needs, relevant history, goals for care, and the documentation requirements applicable to their situation.
Who May Benefit From an Evaluation?
Gender-affirming care evaluations may be helpful for adults seeking documentation in connection with gender-affirming medical care.
The evaluation process is individualized and provides an opportunity to discuss your goals, questions, and circumstances in a supportive, nonjudgmental setting.
My Approach to Gender-Affirming Care
I approach gender-affirming evaluations with respect, compassion, and an understanding of the importance of affirming care. The process is collaborative and recognizes that each person's experience of gender and goals for care are unique.
The purpose of the evaluation is to understand your individual circumstances and determine appropriate documentation based on the evaluation findings and applicable requirements.
What to Expect
The evaluation involves discussing your goals for gender-affirming care, relevant personal and psychological history, and the documentation requested by your treatment provider.
The process and documentation depend on your individual circumstances and the requirements applicable to the requested care. A letter is not guaranteed; recommendations and documentation are based on the evaluation and relevant clinical requirements.
