Irvine Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

Name: TherapyDen LLC
Price range: $

Gender identity issues, sometimes called gender dysphoria or gender conflict, occur when an individual feels an inconsistency between their physical gender and the gender they truly feel or identify with. This most commonly exhibits itself as a physical discomfort with the gender one was assigned at birth, including the feeling of being in the wrong body. Children with gender dysphoria may express disgust of their own genitals or a certainty that they will grow up to be the opposite sex. Some individuals with gender identity issues treat this feeling by physically modifying their bodies to better match their gender identity. Gender dysphoria comes with it an increased risk for depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and bullying. If you are experiencing gender identity issues, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s qualified professionals today.

Mark Myran
Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, AMFT
If you feel weighed down by your past, if you are becoming more isolated, and you don't look forward to sleep, I would be honored to witness your healing journey. I work with people in volatile or abusive relationships, and with people who have experienced sexual abuse/violence or a chaotic/unloving home environment. Even it you don’t identify your experience as traumatic or abusive, you may be tired of being called “too sensitive”, tired of feeling like you’re not good enough or a fraud.

Coral Sanchez
Associate Professional Counselor, APCC, LMFT
It is not easy being gender-fluid in a gender binary world. People may not always understand that affirmed gender may not match assigned sex, and that gender-affirming surgery may not be an option or a choice for everyone. Even within the LGBTQ community, there is no one "right way" that works for all. And while you cannot control everything around you, I believe you should be free to select your path and will support you along that journey.

Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, AMFT, APCC, Adjunct Professor
You are not the problem - the problem is the problem. There is also another story, a story of shame, pain, anxiety, depression, trauma, or feelings of inadequacy that remain hidden inside. There is a path out of that story, toward healing. You deserve a space where you are seen, heard, and validated. Seeking therapy can be a challenging process—from giving yourself permission to begin, to finding the right therapist once you do.
