Santa Ana 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.

Do you feel unseen or unheard? Maybe you feel like you don't quite belong? Or maybe you don't feel anything at all? — Often, we can feel like we aren’t measuring up. We might feel frustrated or confused about why we lash out at those closest to us. We may feel like we are faking it through life & hiding behind our accomplishments. Maybe we are afraid to take up space, speak up for ourselves, or ask for help. Together, we can empower you to live victoriously despite fear, obligation, and guilt.

You have been pleasing others while staying small and out of the way for most of your life. You may take pride in being able to do almost everything on your own or rather, you feel helpless without another person’s feedback. As a by-product of your community, you have been doing anything and everything you can to survive physically and/or emotionally. Survival and staying small are no longer your only options.

Find yourself sacrificing for others without getting much in return? Constantly anxious in your relationships? It's a constant push and pull only to end up savoring the small crumbs you get from your partner or others. It's exhausting, isn't it? During some point in our lives, we can get to a place where we no longer feel in control. Sometimes it can even feel as though we never had control to begin with.

Are you wanting to explore your gender identity but not sure where the road may lead? Or perhaps you're comfortable with where you are in your gender journey and want an affirming space to explore other aspects of your life that may need attention. Though gender identity is a large focus, my practice is LGBTQ-affirming, welcoming of people of diverse backgrounds and cultures, and inclusive of those with non-traditional lifestyles and relationships.

If you feel weighed down by your past, if you are becoming more isolated, and you don't look forward to sleep, I would be honored to witness your healing journey. I work with people in volatile or abusive relationships, and with people who have experienced sexual abuse/violence or a chaotic/unloving home environment. Even it you don’t identify your experience as traumatic or abusive, you may be tired of being called “too sensitive”, tired of feeling like you’re not good enough or a fraud.

As an Asian-American therapist, I understand the unique experiences and struggles of the BIPOC and LGBTQ communities. I have seen how social, cultural, and religious factors impact our mental health. I believe our past experiences, especially those related to early attachment relationships, can significantly impact our current emotional and relational functioning.

You are on a constant rotation of feeling anxious, depressed, worried, or stressed. You have a lot of responsibilities, people counting on you, and yet sometimes it feels like you can barely keep your head above water. You're not exactly sure when life became this way. You've been through so much and still have so much to do. How exactly are you suppose to keep this up? You have tried to manage all of this on your own and have decided that it's time to seek help from someone else.

Katie Sullivan
Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, Masters in Clinical Psychology
The world we live in is not an accepting place. Within my chosen family, I hold and value relationships with people in the alphabet mafia (aka the LGBTQ+ community), substance misuse, black, indigenous and persons of color, and military and law enforcement communities. There are profound stigmas associated with those communities but that does not mean their mental health is any less important. Hence, my interest in supporting those communities within my therapeutic practice.

Are you exhausted from worrying what people think about you? Do you feel as though the past keeps repeating itself, or that you’re stuck in a version of your life that you don’t really want? This can be an incredibly painful and isolating experience. When we’ve lived through repeated abandonment or rejection, we can find ourselves asking is there something wrong with me? We may lose hope that anyone could ever accept or understand us. I offer hope that wholeness and connection is possible.

Our time together will be about self-acceptance, self-love, discovery, and growth. Whether in office, outside, or face to face virtually, you can expect our therapeutic space to be one of safety and non-judgement. It is a sacred space for you to share, feel heard, seen, and respected. Lets discuss what you're wanting from therapy and how we can collaborate to create that. While therapy is an incredibly challenging process, I believe that it is the most brave expedition one can make for themself.

For all your maternal and parenting needs; from womb to wold, I am here to support. Whether you are pregnant, postpartum, or parenting, your experience is valid and deserves space. We all have been a child once and know the impact those small (and big) experiences have on the person we grow into, which is a lot of pressure and stress for parents and parents to be. I love to work with moms/parents and children to support with decreasing this stress and increasing positive loving moments.
