Neuroaffirming Practitioner Referral List

The practitioners listed here are ones who regularly attend and engage in professional development focussed on neuroaffirming practice, and who practice from a person-centred, depathologising framework.

Please note, I cannot guarantee that any of the practitioners will be a good fit/match for you, and I am unable to provide specific recommendations re: goodness of fit to folks that are not existing clients of mine. All practitioners listed here also work separately from me, and I am therefore unable to provide information on their availability, wait times, etc. I’ve listed practitioners in alphabetical order, to make sure it keeps things unbiased. I also do not receive any payments, commissions, or other benefits for your use of this list. To learn more about each practitioner, you will need to view their website and/or contact the practitioner (or their service/practice) directly. Thank you for your understanding of this :)

WPATH assessment providers

The following practitioners offer WPATH assessment and report completion, for folks needing a WPATH to access gender-affirming medical care. They are all psychologists, unless otherwise specified.

Please note, some gender-affirming medical care providers (e.g. surgeons, GPs) have specific requirements about the type of practitioners they accept WPATHs from (e.g. clinical psychologists, general psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, etc). It’s a good idea to check with your gender-affirming medical care provider about this before booking your WPATH assessment, to make sure you connect with someone whose report will be accepted by them.
