Hey! Thanks for the comment! Lol, not such a silly question. It was part of our needs assessment. Our clients tend to prefer therapists of the same gender and because the percentage of female therapists is disproportionately larger than our female clientele (even though there are already more female than male clients) our goal was to highlight the need for more male therapists.
Maybe a silly question. but why do you need to know patient provider gender matches?
