Affirming Therapists
Trans Affirming Therapy Options for Fargo-Moorhead
All options listed here will be LGBTQ+ affirming therapists who have experience with transgender clients and write letters of referral. Sliding fee scales options will be denoted with the SFS prior to the organization name. If an organization is SFS that means they offer services at a reduced price for individuals with lower incomes. This can mean free service for people in the poverty line. Please email our clinic at General@Harborheathclinic.org if you’d like more options than located here.

Local Colleges |
|
|---|---|
| Each college has their own therapy service for students and, to our knowledge, this service is free at every college. As a general rule, these services are only open for students, are free, and it’s relatively quick to be able to see someone. None of these services, however, will write letters of referral. | |
