Houston 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.

I cherish diversity. Every client represents a rich tapestry woven together from threads of gender identity and expression, ethnicity, national origin, faith background, sexuality, spirituality, life experience, and so much more. While we all emerge from rich cultural backgrounds, we simultaneously represent a culture of one.

Denis Flanigan
Psychologist, Ph.D. Counseling Psychology 2011
Everyone faces difficult life-changing events--marriage, break up, loss of trust, a move, loss of a loved one, or a change in their own identity. Whether desired or not, change can make us feel lost, stuck, or without direction—and sometimes even guilty about how we are feeling. I want to help clients adjust to the changes in their life and discover the best ways for them to move forward within an environment that is safe to be their true selves and explore the full range of their feelings.
