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 approach this work from a psychoanalytic lens collaboratively with the goal to help people gain a deeper understanding of their suffering and identify meaning and methods to alleviate pain. I love providing care to students, artists, athletes, healthcare practitioners, first responders, farmers, academics, service industry workers, people who work within the environmental sustainability sector, tech, and people who identify somewhere along the LGBTQ+ continuum.
