Coaching for queer people
on resilience, transition, and love
Whether you’re seeking support in your gender journey, wishing for guidance in navigating a loved one’s transition, or looking for a compassionate space to deepen your understanding of your intimate relationships, I am glad you have found me.
​
My name is Renée Randazzo and I use she/her pronouns. For a decade, I have practiced as a professional counselor specializing in transgender-affirming care, and I have worked with hundreds of gender-expansive people over the years. This coaching practice has allowed me to continue and to elevate my services without the pathologizing medical model setting the frame for the work.
I am a transgender-affirming guide who specializes in helping people of all gender identities explore gender issues, including coping with the stress of a transphobic political climate. I help transgender people and their loved ones navigate emotional growth before, during, and beyond transitions. Additionally, I provide long-term, insight-oriented, trauma-informed witnessing and coaching for people experiencing all types of life changes.
Specialties
My practice has always been a space for transgender, nonbinary, and gender expansive people and their loved ones to navigate gender affirmation journeys and receive support, empathy, and guidance. ​As a coach, my scope extends beyond these issues. I specialize in resilience and healing around trauma both past and present, including childhood and family issues, internalized homophobia/transphobia interfering with identity development, and the stress of systemic marginalization and injustice. I also offer wisdom for people in their journeys to practice self-compassion and make healthy choices for loving relationships.
