Going through a gender transition can be an incredibly difficult and confusing process. From deciding on which procedures are right for you, to navigating the legal requirements around changing your name and updating identification - there are so many steps and potential roadblocks. 

At Arrive Therapy, we've been through these journeys ourselves. That's why we've created two invaluable resources to try to make your transition smoother: our Gender Transition Surgery Workbook and Name Change Guide for Chester County, Pennsylvania residents.

Surgery Workbook: Your Guide to Gender Confirmation Procedures

Our Surgery Workbook is designed to help you think through all the important questions around gender confirmation surgeries. What procedures are you interested in? Which one should you pursue first if you want more than one? We provide a framework for evaluating your options and preparing for the actual surgery itself.

While your physician will give you specific pre-and post-operative instructions, our workbook can help you get organized and ensure you've considered all the key issues ahead of time. We share guidance from our own experiences to try to make your journey easier.

Name Change Guide for Chester County, PA and Beyond

Changing your name is a critical step in your transition, but the legal requirements can be confusing. Our Name Change Guide lays out all the steps for legally changing your name through the Chester County courts as an adult or minor. While the guide is specific to Chester County, Pennsylvania, it provides a good framework that can be applicable elsewhere. 

We cover not only the court order process, but all the other places you'll need to update like your birth certificate, IDs, deeds, professional licenses, and more. The guide even includes tips for updating your name with credit bureaus to protect your credit history.
