Thanks, Patti. I have been searching online for endos that at least purport to work with gender dysphoria (haven't found any as of yet) but perhaps I'm searching for the wrong thing. I have found LOTS of psychiatrists and psychologists who work in the field.

Denver is no small place so I'm sure they exist. Maybe they are intentionally mum about the practice and work via referral from the above psychiatric practitioners. And I'm not sure that I want someone whose focus may be to assume that I am looking to transition.

As far as the insurance, I'm not completely sure. My doctor talked as if he hasn't actually referred me (said something to the effect "let me know if you need a referral"). The name he gave me to call is the one I looked up. My insurance is quite good but generally does require referrals for specialists.

I'm still wrestling with this. I wish I knew if I should even be concerned.

Misty,

I don't live in Colorado, searched "transgender therapists in Denver, CO" one result was this service.

The Gender Identity Center of Colorado for transgender therapists in Denver: http://www.gicofcolo.org/resources/metrodenver/therapists.aspx

Hope this helps.
