ls there any gender therapist in Arkansas that could diagnose people with gender dysphoria? I trust you all more than the internet.
GOOGLE is a good way to find that out ---------- Post added 30th Mar 2014 at 07:30 PM ---------- Sorry that my answer is lame ---------- Post added 30th Mar 2014 at 07:30 PM ---------- Hmmmmmmm.. I suggest talking to a school counselor in your area about this if your still in school
That depends on where you are specifically. On TrueSelves, I've only been able to find one in the Arkansas thread: Ralph Hyman, EdD The Psychotherapy Center 210 S. Pulaski Little Rock, AR 72201 (501) 374-3605 The thread is really old so maybe things have changed. When in doubt, search Google for therapists in your area. I did that and found a handful in my small city.
A great resource for anywhere is Dr Becky's list, Therapists Here's two from that page, Fayetteville Mary V. Cochran, Ph.D. Cochran Counseling 101 W. 4th S St. Fayetteville AR 72701 (479) 575-9302 [email protected] Little Rock Ralph Hyman, EdD The Psychotherapy Center 210 S. Pulaski Little Rock, AR 72201 (501) 374-3605 Now as Daydreamer1 pointed out, these lists do tend to gather dust before they're updated. So the best approach when you find a name from anywhere is to do a phone number search, and either a "cold call" or a "cold e-mail" - in other words, try to contact anyone you find info for without knowing whether it will work. I picked the first one as an example, just typed the phone number into google, https://www.google.com/#q=4795759302 And if you look on that page you see several references to "Mary Cochran" and one to "Arkansas Transgender Support", so there is a very good chance that number is still live. I'm going to go ahead and send an e-mail her way, and let you know if she is still around. But hopefully I've "taught a man to fish" so to speak. I'd really recommend repeating this process with the other people on your own, so that you can shop around and get the best fit for you.
