Should I switch therapists? if so any updated recommendations? (Perth)

Trans fem

Hi all

My current therapist so far has been great at helping me deal with other issues but I feel as if shes not trained in dealing with transgender specific issues.

For instance one of the suggestions shes made is that when I go out I change to fem clothes outside in a bathroom and change back to my regular man clothes when I come back into my transphobic family house. To me this doesn't seem like an effective solution when the environment is the problem.

I would ideally like to talk to someone that specialises in transgender specific issues so I can have help with developing a plan to leave my house and move out for the first time as well as help with navigating the social landscape being trans. A counsellor will do as well if there aren't any psychologists.

For the record my current therapist is fully accepting of me and is a great person. I just feel like her knowledge of trans people is limited :)
