For years I have been able to supress these feelings, but I ended up telling my boyfriend and another good friend, about them and it really didn't end well... I can't get these thoughts out of my head, thoughts of cutting myself have recently came up, and I'm not sure how much longer I can deal with this...
So I'm just wondering, I'm sure some people here have gone to a therapist about being a TG. So if you would mind letting me know how your experience with it worked out, and how much it cost you?

"The average fee is $110 per hour, however many charge much less. Most therapists are willing to adjust fees on a "sliding scale" based upon your income. Additionally it's possible to find extremely low cost therapy through community college and university programs (often therapists are working on the required hours to gain state licensing and cannot charge standard fees), and through community outreach programs such as the United Way."
I pulled this off a website for you. I'm not a TG, but it seems like you could use the help. Hope you can get everything straightened out.

I am a transgender female, and I'm seeing one of the two required therapists as of now (to follow the Standards of Care). Honestly, it depends where you go. I've had a therapist in the past that was $95/h, then moved, and my current therapist is $50/h. Following through with your transition, you will find everything to be extremely expensive (especially if you don't have insurance, like me crying ), so being picky isn't a necessity. As long as you have a therapist you're comfortable talking with, that alone should help, not the price. I hope this was helpful heart
