What Makes The Source Different? A Look Inside Our Model of Care
You’ve probably seen a dozen therapy sites claiming to be “inclusive” or “LGBTQ-friendly.” But if you’ve ever actually tried to get care as a trans person, you know that’s often just code for “we won’t actively discriminate, but we still don’t know what we’re doing.”
At The Source, we’re not offering care that includes trans people — we’re building care for us, by us.
Why We Started This
We were tired of seeing trans people:
Misdiagnosed because their trauma or eating disorder didn’t “look typical”
Dropped from programs for not being abstinent or compliant enough
Forced to educate their clinicians about their identity mid-crisis
Put into systems that treat gender as a side note — or a barrier
We believe trans people deserve high-quality, evidence-based care that actually understands our lives.
What We Offer
We’re a virtual behavioral health service for trans adults, focused on:
Eating disorders in all bodies and genders — no weight cutoffs, no BMI policing
Complex trauma from systemic harm, not just individual events
Substance use care that centers harm reduction and autonomy
We offer:
Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs tailored to trans needs
Individual and group therapy, peer support, and psychiatric care
Community-driven programming co-created with trans people with lived experience
What We Don’t Do
We don’t pathologize your identity.
We don’t expect you to perform “recovery” the way cis clinicians decided it should look.
We don’t believe in neutrality in the face of harm.
We do believe in care that is trauma-informed, gender-expansive, flexible, and built on trust.
This Isn’t Just a Clinic. It’s a Commitment.
We’re not just here to treat symptoms. We’re here to challenge the system that made healing so hard to begin with. We’re not trying to make you fit into care — we’re making care that fits you.
