Therapy First

But I have Paul Garcia Ryan with me.

He leads at Therapy First and just has an incredible story that I can't wait to explore and have this conversation with him.

So Paul, thanks so much for being here today.

Oh, well, thanks for having me.

Well, I am a psychotherapist who works with youth who are experiencing gender dysphoria and their families.

I also work with trans adults and the broader LGBT community here in New York City.

I also run a nonprofit called Therapy First, which is geared towards raising the standard of care, the quality of care that these young people are receiving in the mental health field.

And a lot of that involves training therapists, helping therapists and mental health professionals to develop as clinicians.
