Gender Affirming Care Letters in Las Vegas & Henderson

Supporting Your Journey with Compassionate, Affirming Mental Health Care

Understanding Gender Affirming Care Letters

Gender affirming care letters are essential documents written by licensed mental health professionals to support individuals seeking gender-affirming medical treatments or legal transitions. These letters can help you access:

  • Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
  • Gender-Affirming Surgeries (top surgery, bottom surgery, facial feminization, etc.)
  • Legal Documentation Changes (name and gender marker updates on IDs, passports, birth certificates)
At Henderson Mental Health, we provide these evaluations and letters in a respectful, affirming, and efficient way, centered on your unique needs.

Important Notes:

  • Gender affirming care letters are based on a clinical evaluation and are not automatically guaranteed. The provider must assess readiness, safety, and appropriateness before issuing any letter.
  • Letters are intended to support access to medical procedures, hormone therapy, and/or legal documentation changes, but acceptance of a letter is ultimately determined by the requesting medical provider, insurance company, or legal authority.
  • Henderson Mental Health does not control the policies of hospitals, surgeons, insurance carriers, or government agencies. Requirements may vary and it is the client’s responsibility to confirm what documentation is necessary.
  • Services provided do not replace ongoing medical care, psychiatric treatment, or legal advice. For legal matters such as court petitions or immigration, you may need to consult an attorney.

By scheduling an evaluation, clients acknowledge that Henderson Mental Health provides services in good faith, consistent with best practices and professional standards, but cannot guarantee outcomes outside our scope of control.
