Trans and Non Binary Resources in The Sacramento Area

As a therapist I do a lot of work with trans, non-binary and gender expansive clients. I often find myself needing resources for gender affirming care to refer clients to. At some point I decided to compile them into one place to better help my clients, trans / GNC folx, and the people who love them ^_^.
This page is specifically for resources for gender affirming care and gender related issues. Please see my LGBTQ resources in the Sacramento area for other non gender related LGBTQ resources.

***For some reason Google is taking people to this page when they’re looking for a gender therapist. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place but on the wrong page :-p. I am a gender therapist who has been working with trans and gender expansive clients in the greater Sacramento area since 2009. Click the following link or look under the specialties tab above to find more information about gender therapy with me.

*September 4, 2024* I’m working on updating this list this month.

Trans and Non-Binary Resources in The Sacramento Area

The Gender Health Center
2020 29th St. #201
Sacramento, Ca 95817
The Gender Health Center is a not for profit agency in Sacramento that offers counseling, groups, resources, and lots of good community events. They also have an advocacy program that is available to help people in figuring out their own transitioning process. In general, this is the first place I point anybody to for resources and getting involved in the community.

Sacramento LGBT Community Center
1927 L St.
Sacramento, CA 95811
The Sacramento LGBT Community Center is another good source of support, resources, and community events. They have groups for trans and non binary people and coordinate lots of community events.

The Sacramento LGBT Community center also offers their own respite centers: The Lambda Lounge for adults, and the Q Spot for youth.

PFLAG Sacramento
PFLAG is an organization of friends, families, and parents of LGBTQ people. They offer support groups, community events, education, and advocacy.

Sutter Gender Identity Support Group
“We are an open, non-profit, non-sexual social group serving the Greater Sacramento area for those who are serious about their gender identity.  We provide a safe and secure place where they can interact with others with similar experiences and meet, visit and exchange information. We serve the educational, emotional, and recreational needs of the gender variant, transgender and intersex community, their significant others, parents, children, allies and helping professionals”

Trans Lifeline
(877) 565-8860
Trans Lifeline is a national 24 hour crisis support line for people who are trans, non binary, or struggling with their gender identity. They are a suicide hotline, but also a warm line, which means they are there to support anyone who needs help or are seeking resources.

Sacramento Area Rainbow Kids
“We are a group of families who gather together for support, education, and community to help raise our transgender, gender variant, gender non-conforming or gender questioning children (4-18 years old) in a supportive and loving manner. We recognize that every child and every family has their own journey and has different levels of acceptance and beliefs.”

River City Gems
“The River City Gems are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to improve the lives of transgender individuals and their families by providing social opportunities, peer support, education, resources, outreach programs, and other services focused on the specific needs of the male-to-female transgender community.”

GC2B Transitional Apparel 
Among those I’ve spoken with who bind, this seems to be recognized as a good source for binders.
