Xtine Milrod PhD, LMFT, AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist

I began working with Dr. Milrod when I decided to start my transition later in life. I found Dr. Milrod to be an excellent therapist whose knowledge of gender dysphoria, the trans community and the associated medical care needed to be bar none. They helped me immensely in all aspects of my transition from referring me to the right doctors, to helping me navigate the process of coming out to family, friends and work colleagues. We hit it off the first day of therapy and we worked together throughout my transition. Her empathy and support towards me and the trans community in general literally saved my life and helped me become the woman I am today. I couldn’t have done it without her continued support and encouragement. Thank you Dr. Milrod for helping find my happiness after all these years!

I do not recommend this therapist. I made an appointment to see her and from the day before she starts to badger me to make the payment online to see her, threatening to cancel my appointment if my payment isn't submitted immediately, before I have even met her. In her own contract that she sent me, she mentions you can pay via cash, credit, or check at time of appointment, and so I tell her I will give her check when I see her , and she says no you need to make the payment online right now. An hour later, she texts me that my appointment is cancelled since I didn't make the payment. She is more interested in taking your money, than actually helping you , a very poor sign in any type of health care provider.

Dr. Milrod is forthright, expeditious and caring. She explained my condition with confidence and clarity She drew upon theory, experience and science to paint a picture of me that fit. By the end of the first session, I was already seeing my crossroads. She laid out my options and discussed the pros and cons. In weeks, she was able to resolve conflicts that other therapists could not in years. She gave me "homework" that got me over debilitating fears and that caused me to connect to my inner being. This enabled me to know inside who I really was and move forward unfettered. I was now empowered, rather than endlessly needing to go to others for validation. She is an expert with broad talents. She has been a tireless problem solver, constructive and results-oriented. Things happen when you see her. Her care was evident by doing things she didn't have to do: email support when I really needed it, writing insurance appeals, encouraging, interceding with health professionals on my behalf, visiting me after surgery, pledging her commitment to me to get through problems, etc. And she has had an uncanny knack for giving me excellent advice. Every time I followed her advice, good things happened and when I didn't, I really flopped. She is prompt and reliable in responding to emails. She has a cadre of good professionals that she can refer to. She's never overstepped her bounds. If I had to pick a word that best describes her, I would say "brilliant". I began seeing her eight months ago. I continue to see her as I also have a medical condition and want her in my corner.

I and my husband saw Dr. Milrod about five times. Every time we learned something new about our marriage. It was rocky for a while, but thanks to her help we are stronger than ever. Highly recommended!
