Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible — the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.
Virginia Satir

Supporting your child’s gender identity exploration can be both a rewarding and challenging journey. As children gain more freedom to discover and express their unique identities, parents play a crucial role in providing the empathy, open communication, and unconditional love needed to navigate this process. By educating yourself about gender identity and creating a safe space for dialogue, you can help your child feel heard, understood, and supported as they explore who they truly are.

“Dr. Amy knows how to relate to children and make them feel comfortable. My son was shy in the beginning but Amy asked him a couple of questions about what he likes and immediately found a connection with him. He happily followed her into the office (just after a 3 min of conversation) and performed the test. He wasn’t nervous or scared and it’s because of her ability to relate to kids.
We had a great experience and he wants to go back! Thank you very much!”
