Gender Affirming Health

Gender-affirming care describes medical, psychological, and social support services provided to individuals who are transgender, non-binary, or gender expansive. The goal is to assist individuals in aligning their sense of self with their outward appearance to improve overall well-being.

Gender-affirming care, combined with mental health support, can help reduce risks by providing individuals with the tools, resources, and interventions needed to alleviate distress and promote a positive self-image. Gender-affirming care is any care in which a member of the LGBTQ+ community has their needs properly met, feels safe, and comfortable, and feels their gender is respected.

Dr. Alex Jimenez (He/Him) takes great pride to ensure a safe and positive environment for all individuals to be treated equally and respectifully.
