My husband and I have worked with Dr. Aydin Olson-Kennedy for many years, beginning when our daughter came out to us as transgender. I truly don't know how we would have navigated this very difficult situation without him. Always understanding, supportive, wise and kind, he was able to help us understand the context of what our 20 something child was experiencing. We were sadly ignorant of what a trans person experiences, and Aydin was able to gently guide us through the difficult and painful process of understanding. At one point, he agreed to engage in therapy separately with our daughter, which she has found extremely valuable, and Aydin was able to keep these boundaries very clear. On two occasions we have all met together for particularly difficult but important conversations.
I cannot express how grateful we are to have worked with Aydin. He has literally been a life saving healthcare provider. My husband and I (both physicians), don't know how we would have managed without his guidance.

I felt comfortable with Aydin in a way that I have not with many other providers. Not only did he help me understand myself better from a gender perspective, but he also helped me take steps to improve my interpersonal relationships and well-being in other aspects of my life.

Dr. Olson-Kennedy is an outstanding therapist. Our work with him made all the difference in the world to us. It strengthened our relationship with our trans kid and with each other in such a meaningful way. We are so grateful to have found him.
