Services – The Transgender Institute

Our Core Services

Individual Therapy
Individual therapy for FTM and MTF adults, teens, and children.
Vocal feminization.
Caroline, a former singer and voice teacher, offers vocal feminization services in both group and individual settings. Vocal feminization is a key component of “blending-in” as a woman for male-to-female (MTF) transgender individuals. Also offered is Feminine Comportment, which enhances the “blending-in” ability of MTF individuals.
Transgender Group Therapy
Transgender Support Groups:
- Adult support groups meet twice per month on an ongoing basis.
To join a group, please call Bria or Harriet at 816-305-0943 to register or e-mail The Transgender Institute.
Feminine Immersion Program
Our Feminine Immersion Program was specifically created to assist women in their transition by helping develop their feminine beauty, charm and confidence in a supportive and caring environment.

Mentoring Program for Young Clients and Adults
Children, teens, and adults benefit enormously from time spent with more seasoned and mature transgender individuals. In a typical case, a transgender individual will visit with his/her/their mentor and therapist. If the connection works, as it often does, the mentor becomes a trusted part of the team, a layperson on whom the child, teen, or adult can depend for advice, a listening ear, and to serve as a life model.
Gender Therapy and Coaching Via Doxy.me
Includes therapy and vocal feminization.

We provide consultation services for clinicians wishing to enhance their understanding of gender dysphoria, as well as fellowships for certification in working with transgender clients.

What others say about us

Allison, 36 year-old transwoman

“As soon as I walked through the door, The Transgender Institute was caring and open in ways I never knew were possible. Individual sessions were a combination of self-acceptance, much needed tough love, and progress. Group sessions, which I lovingly refer to as Caroline’s Charm School and are highly recommend, will allow you to make friends for a lifetime and develop a better sense of just where you’re going in terms of transitioning. I cannot recommend the experience enough, for all that it helped me.”

Isaac, 19 year-old transman

“The Transgender Institute was very helpful in getting me on track with the steps that needed to be taken before and during my transition. I consider my relationship with Caroline a trustful one; if there’s anything I need help with, I can go to her knowing that she will help.”

Isaac, 19 year-old transman

“Caroline is very passionate and dedicated regarding her work as a Therapist and Director of the Transgender Institute. I have worked with Caroline on several occasions, approaching issues of inclusion and acceptance of transgender individuals as a part of our globally diverse community. Caroline has the utmost integrity, and I look forward to working with her on other projects in the future.”

Jaron

“Caroline is a true trailblazer, knocking down myths and prejudice on a daily basis regardless of what people think. She has taken on what others refuse to look at, refuse to deal with, and refuse to understand. Her ambition is infectious. She has the right mix of compassion and intelligence to educate the world about human rights and how so many transgender people are at risk of losing theirs on a daily basis.”
