Oregon Gender-Affirming Resource Guide

Welcome to the Full Spectrum Therapy Gender-Affirming Resource Guide!

We are thrilled to provide you with a comprehensive compilation of resources that cater to transgender and gender-diverse individuals' unique healthcare needs. As of August 2023, we have diligently reviewed all listings to ensure the most up-to-date information.

Disclaimer

It's important to note that while we strive to curate a valuable collection, we cannot personally vouch for the competency of each listed resource, nor can we say whether individual staff members have received trans-specific training. Our priority is to present you with options that offer relevant services, empowering you to make informed decisions that best suit your needs.
