There is no single way to know yourself, or to belong.

Identity & Belonging makes space for the questions that do not fit into a checklist. These workbooks are for slowing down with experiences such as feeling pressure to prove or perform gender, wondering how others see you, carrying returning doubt, and finding greater permission to live in ways that feel true.

They are not introductory resources or a replacement for therapy. They are companionable tools for deeper personal reflection, on your own terms and at your own pace.

CREATED BY TRISTAN BYRNES, LMHC

Built from the conversations that deserve more than a quick answer.

Tristan Byrnes, LMHC, is a gender-affirming therapist and founder of Byrnes Counseling Group, a trans-led counseling practice. The series grew from recurring themes in years of gender-affirming clinical work: the weight of social expectations, the desire to feel seen accurately, and the quiet practice of trusting your own experience.

SUPPORT, IF YOU WANT IT

A workbook can be a beginning, a pause, or one part of a larger conversation.

Byrnes Counseling Group offers gender-affirming therapy for adults in Pinellas Park and online across Florida and Pennsylvania. You never need to have a workbook completed, a label chosen, or a transition plan in place to seek support.
