TransMasc Group Therapy

TransMasc Group Therapy is a weekly, support-based therapy space for trans men and transmasculine nonbinary folks to connect for mutual support. Over the course of 16 weeks, members are invited to share their journeys of gender and identity, offer and receive support, and cultivate a community that doubles as a refuge.  

Engaging in dialogue with others who share similar paths offers an unparalleled opportunity for self-understanding and growth. Join us as we explore what healing looks like when you're among those with shared experience, building connection.
