Becca Gerlach, LCSW discusses working with transgender clients as a cisgender therapist, and working with parents of kids or teens in this process. She shares how to offer support, space for parents to grieve if that’s part of their process while supporting the client, how to help clients who have non-supportive parents, and finding supportive resources.
Becca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. Her work has focused on helping those who struggle the most; those with significant trauma. Becca is currently working toward her Ph.D. in Clinical Social Work. Becca has also completed additional training and is an advanced alcohol and drug counselor, sensory-based trauma therapy, psychedelic integration therapy, and is WPATH certified. After four years as a clinical director for a non-profit program, she took a turn away from the behavioral focus and now owns her own practice working primarily with young adults.
Becca offers parent coaching for parents of transgender, questioning, and gender non-conforming kids and teens.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
