Abstract
ABSTRACT Transgender clients encounter substantial barriers in accessing mental health and medical care services due to discrimination, lack of provider knowledge, and limited collaboration between physicians and therapists. Transgender-affirmative services are crucial for the mental and physical well-being of a population whose needs are frequently overlooked. Systemic therapists who work with medical providers may be uniquely situated to enhance the treatment of transgender persons. To reduce the impact of the barriers that transgender persons face when navigating healthcare systems, a medical family therapy framework is presented with recommendations to improve treatment at various levels of collaborative, clinical practice.
