FAQs

What do we mean by “queer”?
- While queer may mean many different things to different people, we use it as a universal term to describe people who don’t fit neatly into society’s definitions of gender, sex, and sexual identity.
How do you know if these services are for you?
- No matter how you identify, if you have questions, concerns, doubts, or goals for anything related to gender, sex, and/or sexual identity- our services were made with you in mind!
Is this the only place where I can get services from providers with a gender and sexual identities specialty?
- Nope! There are specially trained folks at Counseling & Psychological Services who can also provide one-time consults and short-term therapy. For more information, visit the CAPS website.
Do I need to be "out" to receive services?
- Being "out" refers to being public about a queer identity or some other aspect of your gender and sexuality. Whether this applies to you or not, know that you don’t have to choose a label or identify a certain way in order to use our services.

Gender Affirming Care at Vaden

Many folx choose to pursue hormones, otherwise known as Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT), as a part of their gender journey. One does not have to identify along the gender binary (e.g. trans woman, trans man) in order to pursue this option.
