Transgender Support Group

A welcoming community where transgender and gender-diverse individuals can connect, share, and feel seen.

Finding a community that understands your journey can make all the difference. At PS It’s Counseling, our Transgender Support Group offers a safe, affirming space for transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse individuals to build connection, share experiences, and receive emotional support.

This group focuses on empowerment, validation, and community care—honoring your identity while providing tools to navigate challenges with strength and compassion.

About the Transgender Support Group

Our Transgender Support Group is designed for individuals seeking community, understanding, and a place to be fully themselves. Sessions create a supportive environment where members can speak openly about their identity, relationships, challenges, and victories.

The group is led by licensed therapists who specialize in gender-affirming care, ensuring that every member feels respected, protected, and valued.

This is a space where your identity is affirmed, your story matters, and you do not walk alone.
