Lab and Test Results
You can view your results in MyChart. If you don't have MyChart access, you'll get your results by phone or mail.
Your Privacy
You can come to your appointment alone or bring your parents with you.
When possible, we'll respect your wishes to keep your care private. But we also believe it's important to include your mother, father or an adult you trust when you're making important decisions. We can help you find ways to talk to adults about tough decisions.
Under Virginia law, as a teenager, you can consent to receive care like an adult for issues related to:
- Mental health
- Substance abuse
- Birth control
- Pregnancy
- Testing for sexually transmitted infections
For all other care, your parents must give consent. If you want to know more about confidentiality issues and costs, ask our staff.

We offer transgender health services for youth ages 11 to 25.
Comprehensive services may include:
Therapy for anxiety, depression and ongoing emotional issues
