Gender-Affirming Care Letters

Gender-affirming care letters in Chicago. Balanced Life Counseling provides supportive letters for clients seeking hormone therapy or gender-affirming surgery.

Supportive Letters, Not Gatekeeping

A letter should open the door to your care not stand in the way of it.

At Balanced Life Counseling, we write gender-affirming care letters for clients seeking hormone therapy or surgery.

This is not a test to pass. It is a conversation with someone who already understands why this step matters.

Our letters follow WPATH Standards of Care and informed-consent models.

We can provide letters to support:

  • Gender-affirming hormone therapy (HRT)

  • Top surgery and other gender-affirming surgeries

  • Continuity of care for clients already established in their transition

  • Coordination with your prescribing or surgical providers

What to expect:

Some clients come to us specifically for a letter. Others are already in therapy here and want support with the next step.

We work with both.

You do not have to be a current client and the process involves three sessions. If cost is a barrier, reach out about financial aid.

You will not have to prove who you are to us. We start by believing you.

All of our therapists specialize in writing gender-affirming care letters.

Contact us today to meet our therapists and learn how our practice can help you cope with challenges and restore your sense of belonging.
