Mission & Goals
At the Center for Collaborative Transformations, we provide transgender affirming therapy, training, and consultation rooted in anti-racism, liberation, and radical healing.
Therapy
We work with teens and adults who identify transgender, non-binary, gender diverse, or who are questioning their gender or sexuality. We create space for you to explore, discover, and play with gender in ways that feel authentic to you.
We use queer and gender-affirming, multicultural, and feminist therapy approaches to hold space for all the feelings that come with exploration and change. We work collaboratively with you, your family, and care providers as you work toward being more authentically YOU- whatever form that takes at this point in your life.
The Center for
Collaborative Transformations
This center was created to help support queer, trans, & BIPOC folks on the Central Coast and across California by providing high-quality affirming care.
We’re also committed to teaching and training professionals to better serve our communities.
Training & Consultation
We provide training and ongoing consultation for therapists, health professionals, community agencies, and organizations who want to do a better job serving queer, transgender, and gender diverse clients.
Dr. Jay Bettergarcia is a professor, researcher, and trainer who collaborates with professionals to increase multicultural competency and humility through an intersectional, anti-racist, and liberation framework. We can help you create inclusive and affirming policies, practices, and procedures in your agencies and organizations.
