Transgender Hormonal Therapy/Counseling
Transgender hormonal therapy involves administering estrogen for feminization or testosterone for masculinization. Counseling provides vital support, addressing mental health needs and helping individuals navigate their gender identity journey. It includes psychotherapy, mental health assessments, and support groups. A multidisciplinary approach, following guidelines such as WPATH Standards of Care, ensures comprehensive and affirming care. Access to transgender healthcare should prioritize informed consent and respect for individual autonomy.
