Cost / fees
Official pages conflict: the assessment page lists a total cost of $170 and says insurance may cover it when the provider is in network, while the current Insurance & Payment page lists Gender-Affirming Mental Health Assessments at $125.
About this service
The provider conducts gender-affirming mental health assessments for people seeking gender confirmation surgery, hormone replacement therapy, a legal name change, or a legal gender-marker change. A therapist evaluates whether criteria are met and may consult the provider's Affirmative Therapy Coordinator before deciding whether to issue a support letter. The same page also describes affirmative therapy that supports exploration of gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, sexual identity, and the effects of bias.
