Menlo Park 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, MS in Psychology
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.

Psychologist, PhD
You're freaked out and in scarcity mindset. You feel like you carry it all and people just don't see how much you're trying and what you're really going through on the inside. I so hear you. You're over there wondering "why don't they get me?!" and I'd like to help you move to "wow, they see me!" and more importantly I want to help you get to "phew, NOW I SEE ME." I work with folks to get the love they always wanted within and ask for it in more digestable ways.

Though I have substantial experience working with youth, families, and parents, I have really enjoyed my opportunities working with young adults as I've transitioned into my own practice. This season of life brings about many changes that can lead to shifts in mood, anxious distress, interpersonal conflicts, and self-confusion. I find that I work best with those who are willing to deeply explore themselves and consider new perspectives to create new meaning in their lives.

Finding a therapist you connect with is essential. Especially so if you’ve had an event that’s rattled your world; experience or care about someone with a disability or chronic illness/pain; have received a diagnosis that doesn’t get you fully and need a second opinion; or perhaps you've been in therapy before and it didn't feel quite right but think it might help.
