On May 5, I attended the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) conference in Santa Clara, California. In my third installment about this conference, I’m going to talk about the class titled “Parents in Transition, Clinical Considerations When Treating Parents of Gender Diverse Children,” presented by Linda K. Reeves, LMFT (she/her) WPATH GEI Certified Gender Specialist.
