MVZ Trans*gesundheit at Campus Charité Mitte

At MVZ Trans*gesundheit, we offer psychological support to trans* and gender-diverse individuals with gender incongruence, starting at age 18. The term gender incongruence refers to a pronounced and persistent incongruence between the perceived gender and the assigned gender, which is often associated with discomfort and psychological distress (gender dysphoria) and often leads to the desire for a “transition” in order to live and be accepted as a person of the experienced gender.

Our aim is to provide psychological support in a safe, appreciative, and self-determined setting in order to openly discuss the possible steps of further treatment in a self-reflective process and to support decision-making. The focus here is on individual questions about gender experience, social and physical changes, and positive life planning. After completion of the diagnostic phase, a letter of indication can be issued for health care services (e.g., hormone therapy, epilation, gender reassignment surgery).

Our support is based on scientific findings. We follow the S3-guideline “Gender Incongruence, Gender Dysphoria, and Trans Health” of the Association of Scientific Medical Societies (AWMF) and take into account the guidelines of the Medical Service of the National Association of Health Insurance Funds (MD). In addition, we offer cognitive psychotherapy (CT) for existing mental illnesses, focusing on the following areas:

Anxiety disorders

Affective disorders

Personality disorders
