Who makes the diagnosis of gender dysphoria? Can it be made by a family medical Doctor, a psychiatrist, a psychologist, a counselor? My current therapist is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker but she is telling me that I should see a psychiatrist. I do not want to be constantly bouncing around telling my stories of woe and tears regarding my dysphoria to dozens of practitioners until I finally stumble onto the one who can help me. I called my family Doctor and after some confusion she is referring me to a Behavioral specialist. I am not sure if this is what I need. Any advice would be appreciated.
