The Counseling & Wellness Center (CWC) and the Student Health Care Center (SHCC) are committed to serving all students at UF. Students who identify as transgender or may be exploring their gender identities are offered care that is confidential, compassionate, supportive, non-judgmental, ethical, and educational as they navigate the transition process.
Counseling Services
The CWC has several counseling options for transgender and gender fluid students including gender identity themed groups. Both group and individual counseling provide a confidential, supportive environment that allows you to explore your gender identity and navigate the challenges that can often accompany the coming out and transition process.
- UF Students can call 352-392-1575 for a brief consultation where your level of care and need will be assessed).
- Recommendations from the assessment may include referral to a community provider, group/individual counseling, or other services.
- If your needs are better served at the CWC, then a follow-up group or individual session will be made prior to leaving the office.
Your counselor(s) can discuss the needs and time frame for any supportive documentation to assist you with your transition.
