An Affirming Space

Care for Your Gender Journey

At Outside In, we believe that everyone deserves great healthcare that understands and supports who they are, especially when it comes to gender identity. That’s why we’re committed to giving compassionate gender-affirming care to those who need it. We want to make it easier for transgender and gender diverse people to access healthcare. No matter where you are on your unique gender journey, our goal is to support you with respect and dignity.

What We Do

Here, you can expect to get the comprehensive care you need for your gender journey under one roof. Our teams are specialized in transgender and gender diverse health, and they work together right here in our primary care clinic. They can help you with things like getting referrals to surgeries or managing hormones that support your gender identity. Our providers follow the latest evidence-based guidelines from the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH).

Right now, our providers focus on gender-affirming care for adults. Our services are mainly for patients who are 15 and older. Our providers are not able to manage puberty blockers for adolescents or children. Please call or email for more information.
