About Us: Therapy for Children Gender Identity
Our Journey
Therapy for Children Gender Identity was founded in 2017 with a vision to create a comprehensive online resource dedicated to supporting children and their families navigating gender identity issues. The site’s inception arose from the growing need for unbiased, accessible information on this often-misunderstood aspect of child development. Our founder, Dr. Emma Wilson, recognized the scarcity of reliable resources available to parents, caregivers, and educators striving to provide appropriate support.
Over the years, we have strived to become a trusted companion for individuals seeking guidance in this complex yet essential topic. Through dedicated research, collaboration with experts, and community engagement, we aim to bridge the information gap and foster a more inclusive environment.

Filling a Vital Information Gap
The internet, while brimming with information, often falls short when it comes to sensitive topics like children’s gender identity. Many resources available are either too technical for laypeople or biased, offering perspectives that may not align with the latest research or best practices. This website aims to fill this void by providing:
- Accessible Language: We simplify complex concepts, making them understandable for parents and educators without a professional background in psychology.
- Evidence-Based Content: Our articles are meticulously researched, ensuring the information is current, accurate, and supported by scientific studies.
- Diverse Perspectives: We feature contributions from various experts, including psychologists, pediatricians, social workers, and educators, to offer a rich tapestry of insights.

- Educate: Provide clear explanations of gender identity development, common challenges, and available support systems.
- Support: Offer practical strategies for creating supportive environments at home, school, and within communities.
