Vaden Health Services is committed to the health of queer Stanford students by providing both specialized care and inclusive services. Vaden Health Services houses both Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) and the Weiland Health Initiative. The Weiland Health Initiative focuses on serving students across the spectrums of gender and sexuality through therapy, programming, education, and advocacy.
For specific questions or services around gender affirming care, you can make an appointment with a Vaden clinician with experience in transgender health care at the VadenPatientPortal by checking the “Transgender Health Care” box. Providers have been trained and strive to use whatever language students find most comfortable regarding sex, gender, pronouns, and identity.
For some people, sexual orientation and desire are not rigid or continuous throughout their lives; rather, they can be fluid and change over time.
