Los Gatos 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.

Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, AMFT, MS
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.

Kate Viernes
Counselor, LCSW
I connect to folks who are tired of feeling like they always need their “game face” on in the fast-paced, competitive environment of the Bay Area. It’s ok to not be ok, and you don’t have to struggle alone. I integrate social justice into therapy by striking a balance between supporting how you adapt as an individual with how you experience the world as someone with marginalized identities. I work with many People of Color, ages 15-40, to manage stress, identity conflict, anxiety, & depression.

My clients tend to struggle with feeling stuck, overwhelmed by their thoughts and feelings and the choices that are made. Often they have trouble sleeping or unwinding or have pressures of being "perfect". They may also be afraid to take chances, be genuine in relationships, and seek out opportunities they deserve. I enjoy working with those struggling with issues related depression, anxiety, trauma, as well as women's issues and LGTQI affirming.

Katie Virga
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
I work with individuals who wisely learned from their past to focus on the emotional states and approval of those around them, but in the process lost connection to their own boundaries, inherent worthiness, and self-soothing abilities. If you are struggling with relational challenges, feelings of insecurity, or chronic worry, I can help you make sense of your experiences and experience more calm, compassion, and freedom in your responses.

Do you ever hear a voice in your head telling you you're not good enough? It makes everything you do just a little bit harder. If you notice it, you might start judging yourself for judging yourself! What do you do? I offer compassion, acceptance and peace. My style of therapy is flexible and gentle. I work well with highly sensitive people with anxiety and depression. Therapy here is a place to look inward and forward, knowing that no matter what you find I will be right there with you.

I am very passionate about meeting people where they are at. I truly believe that each individual is doing their best with what they have and what resources are available to them. The compassion that I have for others has led to me to invest in groups that are near and dear to me personally. I am committed to serving those that have felt out of place, are underrepresented, and those that experience prejudice due to various elements of their identity.

My clients are often individuals who haven’t had a lot of success with traditional therapy. My approach involves utilizing the body’s wisdom to release and heal past traumas that can cause a lot of pain in the present. I have a down to earth and authentic style that creates safety and comfort in the therapy space. We are all perfectly imperfect just doing our best. It’s my honor to help folks through this often difficult but also joyful human experience.

Associate Marriage & Family Therapist,
You are welcome exactly as you are. Here we honor what makes you unique and imperfect. You already have what you need to create a life that is most deeply fulfilling for you. I welcome the emotions that may have felt too heavy to carry and too overwhelming to face alone. With curiosity and compassion, we gradually bring greater clarity and balance to your inner world. You can finally begin to unlearn the patterns that no longer serve you, and instead learn to envision and embody your wholeness.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
I work well with persons who have difficulty connecting with others or feel somehow set apart from those around them. We come to know & understand ourselves in the context of relationships. Without authentic connections, we can be left feeling lost – disconnected from those around us & from ourselves. Being hurt by persons known & trusted can be quite damaging to our sense of self. Some may come to see themselves as defective, unlovable, or even broken. One can end up feeling completely stuck.

Feeling more stressed and anxious than ever? Disconnected in your relationships? Disconnected from yourself? The last year has been an extremely challenging one for most of us. Going through a major life event like a pandemic not only makes it difficult to cope in the present but also can bring up painful past experiences & grief. We may feel stuck and lost about how to move on. I am here to provide the safe and supportive space you need wherever you are on your journey.

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.
