Why Dr. Colt?
Dr. Colt is an internationally recognized expert in the fields of
pediatric and adult gender health care who provides executive
consulting and mentoring services to other healthcare professionals
who want to sharpen their skills in order to provide the best care for
transgender patients and their family members. He is a certified
mentor by the World Professional Association of Transgender Health
Standards of Care 8th Version, and routinely provides mentoring to
professionals around the globe.
As both a licensed psychologist and a board-certified Family Medicine
physician. Dr. Colt completed his PhD in child-family clinical
psychology in 2013, his MD in 2020, and Mayo Clinic Family Medicine
residency in 2023. He is double fellowship trained in LGBT Healthcare
through the Michael E DeBakey Veterans Affairs Hospital (2013-2014)
and the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute
(2023-2024). During his training, Dr. Colt realized that the majority
of healthcare professionals do not feel confident in managing hormone
therapy. He developed his own executive consulting and mentoring
services for healthcare professionals who want to feel confident not
only in managing medicines, but also in understanding the unique
identities and experiences of transgender people in order to provide
individualized care for their patients.
Since 2011, Dr. Colt has supported the health of hundreds of pediatric
and adult patients as well as published dozens of research articles in
the fields of mental health and sexual health, see below for books,
