Supporting Gender Dysphoria and Identity Questions with Clarity and Care

When you or your child have concerns about gender identity, it can feel confusing or overwhelming. You may have questions about the future and what to do next.

The Living With Change Center at Cincinnati Children’s provides care for adolescents and young adults up to age 25 with a wide range of needs, including gender dysphoria, questions about identity, menstrual concerns, anxiety and depression. We also support adults whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth. Our team provides thoughtful guidance, connects patients and families with trusted resources, and works with each patient to develop a care plan that meets their individual needs while complying with Ohio law.

Each year, our center supports nearly 1,000 patients and their families. From the first visit, our goal is to help every patient feel understood, supported and informed while navigating their health and well-being.

Health Services From The Living With Change Center

Care From A Unified Team

The Living With Change Center partners with specialists from adolescent medicine, gynecology, endocrinology, speech therapy, psychology, psychiatry, and nutrition. This team-based approach to care means you get one clear plan without extra appointments.

We also work closely with social workers and chaplain services to support emotional and personal needs.

Guidance Every Step Of The Way

Patients and families have access to a dedicated nurse coordinator from the start. Your coordinator can answer questions, help with insurance changes, medication coverage, and connect you to the right resources.

This support continues after visits, so you always know what comes next.

Treatment Plans Focused On Your Needs

Every patient has different needs. We build personalized care plans based on your goals, health, and life situation. Visits are centered around your priorities, whether that is mental health, physical wellbeing, medication management for adults, or community support. 

Whole-Person Support And Resources

We take a whole-person approach to care. This means we consider all aspects of your health and well-being. We connect patients and families to therapists, community groups and support services. Our team can also help with concerns like housing, food access and transportation so that you can focus on feeling your best.
