What Sunnie’s clients say:

"I spent seven years wondering if I should get top surgery, bouncing from one "lgbtq friendly" yet utterly unprepared professional to another. For years I searched for a therapist or coach whom I could talk safely and authentically to in order to finally answer this pressing and painful internal question. Sunnie Townsend is the first professional I have been able to speak to about my gender in all its complexity and in its entirety. I felt totally safe, understood, and I could finally speak to someone who I related to! Within only a few months, I had confronted my conflicting feelings and found a safe place to own all of the versions of myself, with Sunnie's expert guidance. Not only that, I made an appointment with a surgeon and only 6 months after beginning our work, I am now having top surgery and feel totally resolved and supported! I will forever be grateful to have been blessed by this amazing support." ---Prince Cunningham, PhD
