Welcome to the Gender Wellness Clinic at the Kingston Family Health Center. Our staff is here to provide coordinated gender-affirming care and help you build a team of respectful providers. We offer whole-person care, giving you the tools to pursue the health and well-being of your true self.
Your first appointment will be a one-hour session where you can meet with a provider and share in detail your reason for reaching out to us. You can use this time to talk through options with your provider and discuss which services may be appropriate. Afterward, you will have follow-up visits lasting 30 minutes.
If you prefer to do your appointment by video or phone, we also offer telehealth. Let us know when you make your appointment if you would prefer an in-person visit at the Kingston Family Health Center or a telehealth appointment.
We are located inside the Kingston Family Health Center.

Project Coordinator, Primary Care Training Extension Grant
Janice (pronouns: she/her) earned her MSW from SUNY – University at Albany.

Alexandra (Sascha) Woolfe, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Clinician
Sascha (pronouns: she/her) earned her Masters of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University. Before coming to the Institute to work with the behavioral health team in 2020, she worked in a variety of mental health settings. One of these included Gould Farm in Western Massachusetts, a holistic, alternative, residential treatment center that is also a functioning farm. The farm’s unique model – an accepting community that welcomes all individuals for healing – inspired her to further her professional education and to become a certified member of the LGBTQIA+ Ally Network of Support.
