TransFormed Together

a supportive group for parents of trans youth

Navigating your child’s gender journey often touches the deepest parts of who we are—including our faith, our values, and our understanding of the world. TransFormed Together is a spiritually-integrated therapy support group designed to help parents and caregivers reconcile their child’s transition within the context of their own personal beliefs.

This is a brave, inclusive space open to people of all faith backgrounds, spiritualities, or those with no formal religious affiliation. Whether you are fully affirming or are currently navigating a sense of conflict, we offer a place to process your experience with grace, support, and professional guidance.

How We Support You

  • Processing the Journey: A space to honestly discuss the "internal" work of parenting a trans child, including managing our own transitions as parents. Whether you are celebrating or struggling, we provide therapeutic tools to help you move toward a place of peace and deeper connection with your child.

  • Building Connection: Meet and connect with other parents who "get it." We share local resources, navigate school and healthcare hurdles together, and celebrate the wins—big and small. We honor the different paths each family takes, finding common ground in our shared commitment to being supportive, loving parents.

  • Loving Through Change: We focus on practical ways to maintain a strong parent-child bond, ensuring your child feels seen and safe even while you are still learning.

  • Spiritually-Integrated Reflection: We recognize that for many, parenting is a sacred journey. We hold space for you to explore questions of meaning, faith, and transition without fear of judgment or dogma.
