Long Beach 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.

Valetta Kirchner
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe each person deserves a holistic approach that integrates psychological factors with overall health, social environment as well as economic and physical circumstances. I view presenting symptoms as coping strategies and the therapist’s role as facilitating the fine tuning of some strategies and the exploration of more effective solutions for others.

Kelly Schinnerer

My clients tend to come to therapy feeling stuck, anxious, alone, in pain, and have the sense that something is missing. Many of my clients have childhood experiences of neglect or abuse, difficult attachment experiences, sexual trauma, and other histories that continue to affect their present. I enjoy working with folks across the spectrums of sexuality of gender identity, and offer a LGBTQ+-affirmative and sex positive lens.

Sara Stanizai
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
My clients are high achievers who are not afraid of hard work, but they have been avoiding tackling their own emotional and mental health. They have no problem supporting others (friends, family, coworkers, causes they believe in), but when the spotlight turns on them - they minimize or dismiss their own struggles. They are the ones holding themselves back. My clients are individuals and couples of all genders and orientations, and they are usually immigrants or the children of immigrants.

Gender can be one of the scariest, touchiest, and most freeing topics under the "identity" umbrella. I love working with clients on this journey and support all genders and all expressions. Your gender should be totally yours to investigate, and my office is a safe place to navigate that journey!

Myles Marcotte
Associate Clinical Social Worker,
I am a trans person myself with over 15 years of involvement in trans communities. I provide gender-affirming care to trans, non-binary, questioning, gender non-conforming, intersex, agender, and genderqueer people at every stage of life. I am here for the person who transitioned decades ago and never wants to talk about it again, and for the person who just spoke their truth out loud for the very first time. I believe gender-affirming care is about truly listening to each individual.
