Do I have to go to counseling to get hormones to transition from female to male?

<p>Hi there, and thanks for your question! To answer your question, I'm going to point you to a link from Dara Hoffman-Fox's blog. Dara is a gender therapist like myself, and everything Dara says is very accurate!&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://darahoffmanfox.com/ask-gender-therapist-want-transition-see-therapist/" target="_blank">Ask a Gender Therapist: “I Want to Transition – Do I Have to See a Therapist?”</a></p><p>Also, since you asked specifically about hormones, it really depends on where you live, how accessible transgender friendly medical providers/endocrinologists are in your area, and also whether you feel you would benefit from counseling-regardless of whether a counselor's letter of referral is required from your medical provider. I hope this information helps!&nbsp;</p>
