About Us

We’re here to help you move beyond “good enough” to embody the knowledge, empathy, and confidence your clients deserve.

Mission

At My Gender IQ, we believe that trans affirming care isn’t a specialty—it’s a standard. And we’re here to help you and your practice exceed it.

Our mission is to guide you in mastering the nuanced art of trans-affirming care as an integral part of truly inclusive practice. Through transformative education and mentorship, we aim to create a network of confident, compassionate, and deeply informed professionals ready to meet the moment. Our clinicians emerge equipped to uplift those they serve, enjoy practice success, and feel connected to their peers and a larger mission.

Pedagogy

You didn’t come here by accident. If you’re reading this, you’ve already felt the tension—the gap between where you are now and where you know you could be. At My Gender IQ, we bridge that gap, offering training that doesn’t just inform but fundamentally transforms the way you practice.

Our programs are designed for clinicians who want more than surface-level understanding. Whether you’re working with transgender youth and their families, exploring new paradigms for affirming couples, or simply looking to deepen your capacity to serve all clients with integrity and insight, we’re here to support you.

Our approach combines cutting-edge research, lived expertise, and actionable strategies to ensure you’re not just capable, but confident in navigating the complexities of gender-affirming care.

Hey, I’m Jess Romeo (he/they)

I teach talented healers how to move from feeling stuck, uncertain, and cautious—to embodying trans affirming care with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

I’m a trans guy, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, and clinical social worker with a thriving practice that specializes in serving LGBTQIA+ patients.

I have a passion for helping my colleagues embrace their brilliance, and a knack for alchemy—

I transform enigmatic and complex stuff into something relatable, personal, and compelling without sacrificing nuance. The result?

You’re more than prepared to serve my community with excellence.

And you KNOW it.
