Over the Binary (OTB) PodcastWhen More Care is Needed for Transgender & Non-binary ClientsIn most cases, the mental health care that Gender Wellness of Los Angeles provides to gender expansive individuals and their families is sufficient in addressing behavioral health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and social difficulties that often accompany the trans / non-binary person’s journey at a given point in time. However, there are cases when the severity of emotions — and the resulting behaviors — are so intense that more care is needed. Suicidality and incidents of self-harm, for example, are all too common within the transgender and non-binary population — among adolescents and adults. In Episode 7 of Over the Binary...2022-09-1948 min

TangleAbortion rights and Roe v. Wade.On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a direct challenge to Roe v.

Over the Binary (OTB) PodcastOver the Binary (OTB) | Episode 4In Episode 4, Casey and Grace welcome special guest, Paria Hassouri. One might say that she’s a “perfect” guest for this podcast, for two reasons: 1. Paria is a mother of three and a writer.

Much of Episode 4 springs from her personal story, and it's one that any parent of a transgender child will definitely want to learn more about. The vulnerability and honesty that's so evident in her memoir is clea...2021-11-1744 min
