WHAT DO "LGBTQ+ AFFIRMING SERVICES" LOOK LIKE

At KHBH, we understand the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals when it comes to mental wellness. It's unacceptable that this community experiences higher rates of substance abuse and suicidality. 

We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality mental wellness care that is inclusive and affirming. Our assessments, individualized treatment plans, psychotherapy, case management, and documentation for gender-affirming surgery aim to help our clients achieve their goals in a supportive and safe environment. 

GENDER AFFIRMING SURGERY SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION

We prioritize personalized care that meets the distinctive needs of our clients. Our team provides support with internal, social, legal, and physical (medical and non-medical) transitions. Our commitment to inclusivity and affirmation also extends to evaluations for surgical transition, where we utilize the Gender Affirmative and Survivorship Surgery Evaluation Tool©. 

We recognize that some transgender or gender-diverse individuals opt out of medical/surgical transitioning or hormonal interventions. At KHBH, we offer support as individuals explore a range of options including HRT, facial surgery, top surgery, bottom surgery, or no surgery or HRT at all. 

At KHBH, we strive to create a welcoming and competent environment. We believe that all members of the LGBTQ+ community should have access to evidence-based behavioral health services. Our team is dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate their mental wellness journey and only includes members of the LGBTQ+ community and proven allies.
