Counseling Services for Transgender & Gender Diverse Individuals in Virginia
At Neutral Ground Counseling Group, we strive to provide a positive therapeutic environment where our transgender and gender diverse clients feel supported, affirmed, and respected for who they are.
We support our clients through their unique path of transition to living authentically. We seek to empower our clients to feel positive about who they are. We provide coping strategies for depression, anxiety, relationship and/or family issues, and other mental health issues that arise due to barriers experienced by transgender and gender diverse people.
We are able to offer our clients support letters for medical transition and referrals to trusted and affirming resources in the DC metro area.
Conversion/Reparative Therapy Policy
Neutral Ground Counseling Group is strongly opposed to conversion or reparative therapy. We believe that conversion therapy causes harm to individuals. We stand with the scientific community that has proven that conversion therapy is ineffective and can be detrimental to those that undergo that type of treatment. Also, we stand behind the American Counseling Association's ethical codes stating that conversion therapy is unethical. Therefore, we do not provide conversion or reparative therapy as a treatment option.
All Neutral Ground Counseling Group therapists adhere to the WPATH Standards of Care
