    Does anybody know any online gender therapists? I do not want my parents knowing I am a girl inside.

    Bump.

    I'm interested in this myself. Though, my mom won't take me to one.

    I chat with a girl who does her transition thru an online therapist, one who was even able to refer her for hormone therapy. IDK how she found him, but if I can get ahold of her, I can ask how she found him & how to contact him. Ideally, seeing someone face-to-face is best, but the way I see it, talking to a professional is better than not taking that step at all...

    I can't say as I know of any specific therapists in your area, in that area of expertise. But I did some searching for a therapist for a friend of mine recently, and found several that offered online/IM therapy sessions. So I'm sure one is available.

  5. I don't know of any online gender therapists (I've always been a bit suspicious about whether they're legit or not), but if you're comfortable talking about it in person, have you considered going to an LGBT drop-in centre? A lot of them offer free counseling for youth, without parental permission. They can be a great resource, if you're able to find one in your area.
