Providing a space of safety and unconditional support for transgender individuals.

Welcome:  Open to both Ftm (female to male) and MtF (male to female) individuals.

Where:  MCC Tampa (Metropolitan Community Church) 408 East Cayuga St., Tampa, FL 33603

When:  Third Wednesday of every month from 7 – 9 pm.

Guided by a professional therapist with over twenty years of experience serving the Tampa Bay area, the objective of this therapy group is to provide a safe and caring space where members are given the opportunity to interact in a confidential setting to discuss concerns related to being transgender. Focusing on group member feedback and support, topics include “presenting” and learning how to relate to others as transgender. Through group interactions, members receive the opportunity to explore their own behavior patterns and learn new ways to positively interact with one another and society in general. Educational information and resources will also be available.  For transgender individuals and free of charge.

Where: 3530 1st. Avenue N., Suite 117, St. Petersburg, FL 33713

When: Fourth Wednesday of every month from 7 – 9 pm.

For more information about these groups, please contact Sara Fackelman, by email, sara@atranslifematters.com, or by phone (813) 716 – 4264.
