This two-part seminar series focused on how to effectively implement trans-affirmative care for transgender and nonbinary patients. In Session 1, we covered relevant research (including health disparities as they exist for transgender populations), terminology, and cisgender privilege. In Session 2, we explored barriers for healthcare providers, mental health care considerations, and ethical forms of treatment.
Session 1 – March 29, 2022
Session 2 – April 12, 2022

Hannah Muetzelfeld, PhD received her training in Counseling Psychology at the University at Albany, State University of New York (SUNY Albany) where she co-created a trans-affirmative social justice consultation project aimed at training medical residents on how to effectively implement trans-affirmative care at the patient-level at a local family medicine clinic. While on her pre-doctoral internship at the University of Utah, she continued the project and worked to consult with medical students earlier on in their training to work both ethically and responsibly with transgender and nonbinary populations in primary care. She is currently working as a Staff Psychologist at Weber State University’s Counseling and Psychological Services Center where she continues to develop and cultivate her interests in trans-affirmative care, and fostering support spaces for LGBTQIA+ individuals.
