Gender Affirming Care

Gender-affirming care includes an array of social, psychological, behavioral, and medical interventions “designed to support and affirm an individual’s gender identity” when it does not match the gender they were assigned at birth.

The goal of gender-affirming care is to help transgender individuals align their social, behavioral and physical traits with their inner gender identity. According to the American Psychiatric Association (APA), transgender and non-cis gender identities can fall anywhere along a continuum that includes man, woman, a combination of those, neither of those, and fluid.

At Tulane Total Health, our compassionate, expert providers are here to support you or your family through your gender-affirmation journey and beyond. We are proud to offer to individuals of transgender experience and non-binary folks of all ages in the New Orleans area the following gender-affirming services:
