Waukesha Area LGBTQIA+ Focused Health Care Resources
Medical/Behavioral/Gender Affirming Healthcare
Whether looking for a primary care doctor, a therapist or a specialist, everyone deserves a healthcare provider who they can be open and honest with—free from fear of stigma or bias.
The LGBTQ+ Healthcare Directory is a free, searchable database of all kinds of doctors, medical professionals and healthcare providers knowledgeable and sensitive to the unique health needs of LGBTQ+ people in the USA and Canada.
The Gender Health Clinic is a multidisciplinary clinic focused on children and youth seeking assistance with gender identity development and transition concerns. Our skilled staff will meet with new patients through age 16 on an individual basis for comprehensive evaluations, mental health consultations and education. The most common care plans include ongoing psychological, emotional or social support. In some cases, our services may include reversible puberty-suppressing hormone therapy, gender-affirming hormone therapy and speech/voice training. Furthermore, we can provide children and adolescents with connections to other resources and support within Children’s Wisconsin and the community.
We hope to work with you to develop the best and safest care plan for your child. The timelines for care delivery will be thoughtfully based on your child’s healthcare needs, your understanding of treatment, and goals. Our care plans are informed by the WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health), Endocrine Society, and American Psychological Association guidelines.
Supporting transgender, nonbinary, gender questioning and gender diverse youth
Gender expansive children and adolescents often have many questions. At our PATH Clinic, UW Health Gender Services experts are ready to provide answers about potential therapy options. We also try to connect you with other children and families with similar experiences. Our team offers a full range of care and support based on the needs of the child and family. This ranges from observation, advocacy, and guidance to puberty suppression and gender-affirming hormone therapy.
We are proud to be named a Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality by The Human Rights Campaign Foundation.
The UW Health adult and pediatric gender services teams follow the standards of care from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.

Growing older presents challenges for millions of Americans, but members of the LGBTQ+ community are particularly hard-hit. According to the UCLA Williams Institute, LGBTQ+ older adults face many additional barriers to receiving health care. We created this guide to connect the elders of the LGBTQ+ community to the resources and information necessary to help them find the care that they need.
