About me
Diane Ehrensaft is a developmental and clinical psychologist who cares for children, adolescents, young adults and families. She specializes in gender-affirmative care for transgender and gender-expansive patients; assessment and psychotherapy for children; and support for parents and children in families created through assisted reproductive technology.
Ehrensaft earned a doctorate in psychology from the University of Michigan.
Ehrensaft's research focuses on the development and psychological experiences of transgender, gender-nonbinary, gender-expansive or gender-exploring children and adolescents. She is involved in studies of the developmental pathways of gender-expansive children before they reach puberty and mental health outcomes for youths who choose puberty blockers or gender-affirming hormones as part of their pediatric gender care.
Ehrensaft is the author of two books, The Gender Creative Child: Pathways for Nurturing and Supporting Children Who Live Outside Gender Boxes and Gender Born, Gender Made: Raising Healthy Gender-Nonconforming Children.
