Virginia Erhardt, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Gender Specialist
Description
About Dr. Erhardt
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (Georgia license #1818), with a Ph.D. from Georgia State University. I am a member of the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association, and a founding member of the American Gender Institute. In February, 2000, I joined the advisory board of Gender Education and Advocacy.
I was born in New York, and after leaving there in 1960, lived in various parts of the country, on both coasts. Since 1977, I have lived in the Atlanta area. I have offered psychological services in diverse settings, including the Emory University Counseling Center, Ridgeview Institute, the Atlanta Veterans Administration Hospital, and Shepherd Spinal Center. In 1992, I opened my private practice, which became full time in 1994.
The focus of my private practice is individual, couples, and sex therapy. My training as a sex therapist included study and supervision with Drs. Mark Ackerman, Steve Sloan, the Talmadges, David Schnarch, and Jeanne Shaw. My specialized training and experience in the field of sex and gender goes beyond traditional sex therapy. It includes work with those dealing with chronic illness and disability, and work with people with unusual issues regarding their sexual identity, including gender identity, and erotic orientation.
