Thinking about talking to a professional about how I feel. I live in Anchorage, AK. Any suggestions? MtF transition.

Maybe check with your Doctor; he might be able to refer you to somebody.

You could do a google search for gender therapists in your area .
Good luck to you , seeing a therapist helped me to be happier in my life than I have ever been , she helped me to accept myself .
Be sure to find someone trained in gender expression identity therapy/treatment! Many claim to be able to but few can do it well. Good luck and be honest with them.
If you are thinking about it, then just do it. No need for the opinions of the people on this forum. Do what you need to do to feel comfortable.
ive thought about doing this too, if you can afford it, or feel you really need to do it then I encourage you to go ahead, theres nothing like talking with strangers to relieve problems.
As others have said above, make sure they are specialized and not just any doctor/therapist
♫I cant stand to fly, I'm not that naive. I'm just out to find the better part of me. I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane, I'm more than some pretty face beside a train. Its not easy to be me.♫
Although I don't have a desire to transition. Seeing a therapist can really help deal with emotional road blocks. I've started seeing one recently and she gives me homework assignments to become more comfortable with my feminine side. Good luck!
The wisest thing talk to your doctor first and get advice on what to do next.
A lot of questions will need to be answered by a number of people.
It is the best way to get the best advice.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
If there isn't a gender specialist where you live, there's a growing use of what are known as specialists on call, a video conferencing where you can speak in real time to a therapist in a variety of areas. I don't live in an area where it's needed; so I don't know all that much about it. But we've discussed it at work for smaller, rural hospitals that don't have, say, neurosurgeons when the e.r. needs to consult on a trauma victim. I do know that there are many hospitals that use teleconferencing for psychiatric use during off hours. I'd expect that your city is big enough to have one of those type stations in one of the hospitals. Or, perhaps someone knows of a therapist that does this on their own. There's certainly a market for it.
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
