I fully believe all parents of transgender children need a good therapist. A therapist can help you navigate what it looks like for your child to be transgender and what it means for you to be the parent of a transgender child. They can answer your questions about the different kinds of transitions and what that might look like for your child and help you manage any complications that arise with your insurance company.

They can also help you process all the complicated feelings you have about your child being transgender and help you figure out a way to move forward that is healthy for you while honoring your child and their journey.

What they can’t do, unless they are also the parent of a transgender child, is offer you their shared experience. That is where parent support comes in.

Connecting with Beth through both her course and conversations helped me to navigate a confusing, and sometimes distressing time during my adult child’s transition. Beth’s personal experience and extensive research helped me process my own journey as a parent while my child was on theirs. Her quiet wisdom and kindness was so helpful when I was feeling alone, sad or anxious thinking about what to expect next. I feel lucky to have found her so that I can now support myself and my child. The next chapter of my life might not look like I had imagined it years ago, but I now have the vocabulary, tools and curiosity to look forward to what is to come.

Beth is a great support to those who know her. She listens closely to what you are saying. The questions she asks validate how you are feeling but also guide you to new perspectives on your situation. A new perspective, offered often, makes Beth a great mentor. There is never any judgment. She is open to new ideas and asks great questions to help her understand what someone else may be experiencing. Beth speaks openly about her experiences raising her children and my conversations with Beth provided me with understanding, kindness and guidance.
