A Clinicians Guide to Gender Actualization Reviews

"A Clinicians Guide to Gender Actualization: An Approach to Gender Affirming Therapy centers the individuals gender journey and prepares clinicians to assist gender diverse persons in actualizing their most authentic selves. This is a needed resource that all mental health professionals working with transgender and gender diverse persons should utilize for their professional development."
Sarah Pickle, MD, Family Medicine and Transgender Health physician

"A Clinicians Guide to Gender Actualization: An Approach to Gender Affirming Therapy is an essential read for any mental health clinician working with transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming individuals. Yilmazers approach transcends traditional symptom-based methods for treating gender dysphoria by focusing on the transformative power of helping clients discover their authentic selves."
Evelyn Heflin, clinical social worker and community leader

"Highly recommended! Caitlin Yilmazers work is founded on principles of reclaiming an authenticity lost to most transgender clients as they grow up unsupported in their identity. Using a self-actualization model, Yilmazer helps clients embrace their identity, shedding cultural baggage rooted in deep-seated transphobia."
Reid Vanderburgh, retired trans therapist
