    Not sure if it will be of much help, but in our helpful links thread I did find this: RAD Remedy - Home

    That might help you to find some trans/gender-nonconforming therapist options. If not, you could always just try searching for trans/gender-nonconfomring friendly therapists in your area. I know several websites will produce lists of therapists with the type of counseling they provide.

    I agree with Gallatin on the website, especially if you are along the I-71 axis of the state. The lead developer is actually in Columbus. You can also try checking with nearby support groups. TransOhio has a calendar on their website... Hopefully they are able to get the rest of their site back together soon. Calendar | Educate. Advocate. Support. Community.

    I suggest checking out the website Psychology Today and look up therapists in your area. You can also narrow it down to those who specialize in working with trans people as well.

    IMO, I don't think finding a therapist should be too tough. My partner is non-binary / genderqueer, and he had no problem at all talking to a therapist (he went to sessions with me for support) or starting T.
