Transformations Program: Empowering Your Gender Journey
At Wholesome Psychology, we understand that the journey of exploring and affirming your gender identity is deeply personal and transformative. Our Transformations Program is designed to support individuals navigating issues related to gender identity, including those considering gender expression, sex reassignment surgery (SRS), or experiencing challenges along their gender journey.
Comprehensive Support for Your Gender Identity Journey
The Transformations Program offers initial assessments, consultations, medical referrals, and ongoing support for individuals exploring their gender identity. Whether you are navigating the complexities of transgender expression or considering gender-affirming surgery, we provide a safe and supportive space to help you better understand yourself and your needs. In addition, we offer counseling and therapy for both individuals and their family members to address other concerns such as trauma, sexual abuse, substance use, relational challenges, anxiety, depression, and more.
Understanding Gender Fluidity and Transition
As conversations around gender identity become more prevalent, there has been a shift toward understanding gender fluidity, moving away from the outdated binary of male and female. This shift is critical in promoting a more inclusive approach to gender diversity and providing those who identify as transgender with the support, care, and affirmation they deserve. At Wholesome Psychology, we respect and celebrate all gender identities, including non-binary, genderqueer, two-spirited, and post-op individuals, acknowledging their unique experiences and challenges.
Personalized Care for Your Unique Gender Journey
Our therapists at Wholesome Psychology offer a client-centered approach, guided by the standards of practice set by WPATH.org (World Professional Association for Transgender Health). We work closely with each individual to provide personalized support based on their specific transition goals and needs. Our team is trained and experienced in working with the LGBTQ2S+ community and is committed to creating a safe, sex-positive environment for all clients.
What We Offer: Holistic and Comprehensive Services
The Transformations Program encompasses a broad range of services to support your gender identity exploration and transition, including:
- Comprehensive mental health assessments to understand your emotional and psychological needs, including stress levels, trauma history, and transition goals.
- Education and guidance for you, your partner, and/or family members to explore your transgender identity, transitioning process, and available resources and support.
- Provision of legal and medical documents, such as name change letters and vital statistics letters, to help with transitioning.
- Therapy and counseling to address any related challenges, such as trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, substance use, or relational concerns.
- Referrals to supplementary services such as laser hair removal, voice training, cosmetic procedures, and more to support your transition.
Collaborative Approach for Seamless Transition
We take a collaborative, team-based approach to ensure that your transition process is as smooth and comprehensive as possible. By working alongside other health professionals and following WPATH guidelines, we aim to reduce wait times for services and ensure you receive timely, high-quality care at every stage of your journey. Our goal is to empower you with the resources and support needed to transition with confidence, ease, and dignity.

The Transformations team is led by Dr. Cory Hrushka, a senior psychologist and AASECT Certified Diplomate of Sex Therapy, who brings deep expertise in sex therapy and transgender issues.
