Bay Area Partners of Trans Men
A Therapy Group for Women with FTM Partners
Starts January 25
2nd and 4th Sundays of the Month 10:30-12pm

When your female partner transitions to male, you can feel a whole mess of feelings, some that may conflict with your partner’s excitement around their gender transition. It can be scary to bring your feelings out in the open before you’ve even worked out how you feel. The purpose of this therapy group is to provide a safe and confidential space for female partners of trans- masculine identified individuals to share experiences and gain support. Group members will be female identified, over age 24 and who at some point have identified as queer, bi or lesbian. Your partner’s transition can include medical interventions, hormones, a legal transition or social/gender role changes.

This therapy group will have no more than 7 members at a time. Each person will have a phone meeting with Lisette, free of charge, to make sure the group is a good match. The group will include check-ins, facilitated discussions and sometimes be topic focused or have readings. We will discuss how a gender transition impacts your identity, community, family, sex life and emotional intimacy. Over time, as the group develops, it may become a place where you can gain support around other life issues like reaching personal goals, reducing your stress and improving your relationships.

Cost: $45/session. Members will be asked to pay for both sessions once a month ($90). To save your space, you will be expected to pay the full monthly fee, whether or not you attend. Credit Cards, PayPal, Cash and Checks Accepted

Location: 870 Market Street, Suite 819, San Francisco
(Powell Street BART station).
