Pleasanton 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.

Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D. (PSY31813)
Growing up, you often feel like you do not belong. You try to perfect your mask to the outside world and blend in like a chameleon. You learned to survive in this world, becoming what others want you to be. Once you realize you are living someone else’s life, not yours, you feel lost. It affects how you feel about yourself and makes it difficult to look forward to the future.
