Title
Reid Vanderburgh - Transgender Therapist
Description
I am a therapist in private practice in Portland, Oregon. I began my transition in 1995, and started taking hormones in 1997, at the age of 41. I received my B.A. in Psychology from Portland State University in 1998. I received my M.A. in Counseling Psychology (specialization Transpersonal Psychology) from John F. Kennedy University's Graduate School for Holistic Studies in 2001. My thesis topic, which I already had in mind prior to beginning my course of study, was Gender Dissonance: A New Paradigm, in which I presented a new way of conceptualizing therapy with transgendered clients, using a model of identity emergence rather than a medical model of psychology pathology. I now utilize this model in my work with trans clients.
I am a member of the Harry Benjamin Gender Dysphoria Association (HBIGDA) and the International Foundation for Gender Education (IFGE), as well as the American Asssociation of Marriage and Family Therapists. I received my LMFT (Marriage and Family Therapist license) in March, 2006.
My job is to facilitate a process of self-knowledge, as my clients figure out who they are and who they want to become during the course of their life transformative process. I am a witness to process, and an occasional guide along the way. It is my job to help clients along their path, without determining for them what direction the journey may take. The question I help clients answer is, "How do I want to live my life?"
