Palo Alto 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.

People have a difficult time discussing their sexual needs and or issues. They don't know how to approach sexual topics. My goal is to provide a non judgmental environment for clients to explore their sexual identity, communicate with others and seek answers to questions they may be having.

Finding a therapist you connect with is essential. Especially so if you’ve had an event that’s rattled your world; experience or care about someone with a disability or chronic illness/pain; have received a diagnosis that doesn’t get you fully and need a second opinion; or perhaps you've been in therapy before and it didn't feel quite right but think it might help.

I work with gender diverse clients using a gender-affirming approach. I provide a space where clients can explore their identities and learn to navigate gender-related challenges, for example, discussing what it might be like to share their identities with others or about what coming out means to them. Together we come up with strategies for helping clients feel more comfortable in their own skin while protecting their physical and emotional safety from transphobia.

Many of those that I work with have experienced deep pain in their lives, and our work together involves exploring that pain and its impact. We'll take time to move at the pace that feels comfortable-this is not a space we need to rush. It's a space to be, to feel, regardless of what that feeling is.

My clients are often creative, compassionate people who are experiencing stress or anxiety, both in work and in their personal lives.

Ultimately, my hope is that therapy becomes a space where you feel seen, valued, and supported.

You're freaked out and in scarcity mindset. You feel like you carry it all and people just don't see how much you're trying and what you're really going through on the inside. I so hear you. You're over there wondering "why don't they get me?!" and I'd like to help you move to "wow, they see me!" and more importantly I want to help you get to "phew, NOW I SEE ME." I work with folks to get the love they always wanted within and ask for it in more digestable ways.

Psychologist, PSY31202
What makes us think, feel, and act the way we do? Through my research and practice, I learned that the way we see the world is influenced by a multitude of factors including our culture, race, upbringing, and sexual orientation - just to name a few. All of these variables came together in your life to play a part in how you feel, think, and act. In our work together, we will explore how your unique experiences may have contributed to the struggles and questions you have today.
