Gender Dysphoria refers to the clinically significant distress a person may feel due to a marked incongruence between their experienced or expressed gender and the gender they were assigned at birth. Our approach is not to treat the identity, but to alleviate the distress. Televero is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and affirming space for transgender and gender non-conforming individuals to explore their identity and receive supportive care.
