Statement from Dr. Lundeberg:

Oregon Autism Evaluations LLC strives to create a safe, affirming, and supportive environment for all clients, including those who are transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming.  I strive and aspire to, at minimum, not only meet the guidelines set forth by my profession for basic dignity, but to operate a space where you can be your true and authentic self.  If you have any questions or concerns about the quality of care you can expect and deserve for you or a transgender, nonbinary, and/or gender nonconforming loved one, please do not hesitate to ask.

Highlights from the American Psychological Association's

Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People

​​​​

Psychologists understand that gender is a nonbinary construct that allows for a range of gender identities and that a person's gender identity may not align with sex assigned at birth.
​
Psychologists understand that gender identity and sexual orientation are distinct but interrelated constructs.
​
Psychologist seek to understand how gender identity intersects with the cultural identities of transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) people.​
​
Psychologists recognize how stigma, prejudice, discrimination, and violence affect the health and well-being of TGNC people.
​
Psychologists strive to recognize the influence of institutional barriers on the lives of TGNC and to assist in developing TGNC-affirmative environments.
​
Psychologists understand the need to promote social change that reduces the negative effects of stigma on the health and well-being of TGNC people.​​
​
Psychologists strive to understand how mental health concerns may or may not be related to a TGNC person's gender identity and the psychological effects of minority stress.
​
Psychologists recognize that TGCN people are more likely to experience positive life outcomes when they receive social support or trans-affirmative care.​​
