THE WI TRANSGENDER HEALTH DIRECTORY

Alan Irgang LCSW

Psychotherapist

Mental health provider, Substance use/abuse, addiction, and/or recovery provider

Over 20 years experience in private practice and other settings providing mental health services for the LGBT community. I also coordinate the Wisconsin Department of Health Services transgender treatment program at a secure treatment facility.

My treatment orientation for TNG clients is based on your goals and spans early gender identity development through complete social and medical transition. I take a very sex-positive stance on the diversity of sexual identities, practices, and relationship structures.

You are the expert in your journey. My role is to help guide you in finding meaning in problems, to inspire hope, and to celebrate your success in transcending challenge.

Diversity is the fabric of humanity. I enjoy working with people of diverse racial, ethnic, gender, and sexual identities
