Become more confident in supporting your trans kiddo
Do the work and challenge yourself
then Direct Support might be for you.
As the parent of two transgender young adults, I’ve learned so much from my own parenting journey, and I want to share that with you.
For years, I’ve been a listening ear, sounding board, and shoulder to cry on for other parents of trans kids all over the country and around the world, offering humble suggestions and advice with warmth, understanding, and shared resources.
You get the benefit of my huge network of parents, transgender adults, and other subject matter experts; if I can’t answer a question, I’m sure to know someone who can!
What to expect when we work together:
Reassurance from someone who’s been there
Validation for those complicated feelings
Safe space to ask questions
Easy-to-understand, patient explanations
Encouragement and advice
Generous examples from my own experience
Curated resources
Solutions and action plans we craft together
“Homework” specific to your situation
What you won’t find in our sessions:
Denying, preventing, or changing your child’s gender identity or sexual orientation
Reparation/conversion therapy
“Finding Parents of Trans Youth was like being ideally matched up to a peer buddy, a mentor, that helped me navigate my child’s transition. Mandy is resourceful, listens well, has empathy, and being herself a mother of LGBTQ+ kids, gets it. I wanted a peer . . . someone that has gone through this experience themselves. And that’s exactly what I got. I’m grateful for Parents of Trans Youth.”
