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.
