Comprehensive support for trans people
Support for transgender people is a holistic care related to mental health, medical transition and legal gender reassignment. At Single Step we work with trans cases through a comprehensive approach - by working with a psychologist and medical expert. We have gathered here detailed information on what you can count on from our supporting professionals.
Anna Joukivskaia is our psychologist, who has had numbers of consultations with trance and non-binary people behind her. Her psychotherapeutic support in a safe and calm environment, with guaranteed confidentiality, can be invaluable in helping people of different gender identities at every stage of their awareness and acceptance process.
Her work includes, but is not limited to, providing psychotherapeutic support to the client and their family. Anna provides a statement and expert evaluation for starting hormone therapy, as well as for support in court regarding chang of administrative gender. Also, if necessary, she can provide a letter with guidelines for creating a tolerant space in the school and support the trans student by informing the teachers and the principal of the school where he / she is studying.
In addition to individual sessions, we offer psychological support for the whole family - the trans client and his family can join a support group at Single Step.
As part of the support, Anna works together with our career consultant - Konstantin Kunev, and our health consultant - Momchil Baev, as well as with an external psychiatrist when she needs an evaluation for an endocrinologist to start hormone therapy.
