Welcome to Trans Care!

Vision

Create a world where all TNB individuals have access to inclusive and affirming mental health care, enabling them to achieve resilience and gender euphoria.

Mission

Center TNB experiences and healing in the pursuit of accessible mental health care. Through the Trans Care program, we collaborate with community organizations and TNB researchers to provide free and affirming interventions. We aim to bolster the resilience of TNB individuals, fostering strength in the face of adversity, and working towards a more equitable and inclusive future for all.

Hi, I'm Louis Lindley!

I’m a white queer trans man and a counseling psychology researcher. In collaboration with community organizations and fellow researchers who identify as trans and nonbinary (TNB), we developed the Trans Care program to address the unique needs of our community.

While us trans and nonbinary people are undoubtedly strong and resilient, we cannot ignore the toll that anti-trans stigma and discrimination can take on our mental health. Traditional therapy, often costly, unaffirming, and rooted in colonial practices, may not fully meet our needs. In response to these challenges, our goal was to create a program that is both free and accessible to all TNB individuals, enabling us to cultivate strength in the face of adversity.

The Trans Care program represents an initial stride toward making mental health care inclusive for all TNB individuals. By prioritizing our lived experiences and understanding of healing and hope, we aim to make mental health support more accessible and aligned with our community’s needs and perspectives.
