Dr. Natalia Zhikhareva, PhD, Psychologist - PSY28888

I specialize exclusively in transgender care and I focus on helping individuals solidify their sense of identity in respect to gender and aid in gender transition. I am best suited for individuals who are questioning their gender identity, wondering if they identify as transgender, or ready to start transition. Additionally, I provide guidance and support for partners, parents, and family members of transgender individuals. Partners often need guidance to explore whether the relationship is still for them. While parents need support in navigating the unknown.

Many individuals seeking my help identify as transgender and want to start transition but don’t know where to begin. While others are unsure where they fit on the gender continuum. Some engage in cross-dressing and want to clarify how cross-dressing may be related to their sense of who they are.

I offer free phone consultations. Visit my website for medical blog & gender resources. I provide online therapy to individuals ready to begin gender transition and are needing direct guidance and access to medical resources. Social, legal, and surgical transition often take from a year to a year and a half, depending on the individual.
