Transgender Service’s mission is to provide a safe, comfortable, and friendly space where Trans & Non-binary individuals can blossom into their true authentic selves. We have a wraparound case management program, with a flexible, holistic, creative approach. Meaning we help with whatever our clients may need, Mental, Medical, Physical, Emotional, Financial, Behavioral, etc. We have a client lead program focusing on their strengths, and goals while helping their overall quality of life from their point of view. We meet our clients where they are today, intending to help them get where they want to be tomorrow. We are willing to assist our clients by any means possible, through a variety of services and resources. Sunserve’s Transgender Services welcomes you no matter where you fall on the Transgender spectrum. If you are about to start your journey or if you are a seasoned veteran.

SunServe's therapists can help you whether you are just beginning to ask personal questions about gender that are new to you or have transitioned years ago and need help dealing with the challenges of day to day life. We also assist spouses and families who are struggling to understand and accept all the challenges that gender transitioning involves. Just call our intake line and our staff will be ready to assist you in finding the right counselor and psychotherapy service for you.
SunServe's support groups are an important part of the process of transitioning. And they are often the best place where trans-folk can share experiences and support for one another. Groups frequently become resource gold mines for addressing practical questions about passing or the more complex issues about relationship challenges or strategizing about how to deal with difficulties in school, family or the workplace. Support groups are the place where you can be just who you are and everyone there will “get it.” We offer a Gender Bender group for Youth, and a Transgender Support group for adults.
