San Jose 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.

The question is: What is tangling you up? Are you tangled up in anxiety, sadness,& doubt? Are you held by insecurity &uncertainty? Are you slowed by feeling disconnected & getting caught unaware? Have the paths become overgrown and you can’t find or are questioning the sign before you? Growth is about using and building new skills, all of which take time, and nurturing. Growth is about finding solutions that apply to the situation and not just the general world.

Andrés Gonzalez
Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, AMFT 134229
Various needs and issues bring clients in, including feelings of loneliness or stuckness, sadness, relationship distress, anxiety, or challenges in the way they see and relate to themselves. They seek more meaning in their life, in their relationships, and in their actions. They are looking for a change in their life that they may not be able to articulate just yet. Though perhaps unclear to start, they are looking for an evolution of the heart, mind, and soul.

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT 47779 (California)
Do you feel uncomfortable with youreself: overwhelmed, uncertain, or afraid; depressed, stuck, or "turned upside down"?. Is your family feeling chaotic or constantly fighting the same argument again and again? Often my clients have encountered something that made them "rethink" who they are or how they act. These events might be chosen, like a move, or they might have been a surprise, like a traumatic experience.

My clients tend to be working toward a place of acceptance—of themselves and others and life. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I love supporting individuals and couples working with their identities and creating a life that feels joyful and satisfying. I also work with neurodivergent teens and adults—especially those with ADHD brains—to discover their personal strengths and undo the damage caused by insufficient support and understanding. I am a feminist who supports women of all birthrites.

Do you have disparate parts of your identity that you wonder how they fit together but inherently know that they do? Do you binge-watch shows and fall into fandoms to ignore the mountain of "baggage" that you know you have but low key pretend to the world like you're a functioning human being? I can help you embrace the pieces of your identity and help get through the backlog of "stuff" so that you can be free to live the life you were meant to live.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Ever feel like no one gets it? Maybe they try to, and they're endearing when they try, but it just doesn't feel like you're heard, seen, accepted, and understood? It's hard trying to navigate life and all the complexities. As humans, we're multi-faceted, multi-dimensional, multi-layered beings, which can be really overwhelming. There are parts that we love, other parts that we dislike, maybe even hate. This can cause to act in self-sabotaging ways, such as lashing out, trust issues, isolating.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT 129711
You're already juggling so much; school assignments, friends, getting along with your parents, sports/music/other activities, dating, maybe even planning for what's after high school. It's hard when your gender identity and sexual orientation, parts of yourself, are not fully accepted or understood by the people around you. You feel like you just need a space to be yourself, so you can figure out who you are and who in your life is truly there to accept and support you no matter what.

Our clients are individuals who may be hesitant to begin therapy, but after meeting during a free consultation, they quickly recognize the benefits of meeting with one of our experienced, compassionate, and open minded therapists. Many individuals we meet with have had experiences with anxiety, stress, depression, difficulties in relationships and at work, and have experienced trauma at some point in their lives.
