Bloomington 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.

Heather Pierce
Therapist, LCPC
We work with adults 18+ for individual, couples, or group therapy. We stand against violence and injustice done to Black people, People of Color, and LGBTQIA+ people by individuals or institutions, and acknowledge the very real harm done by all forms of trauma. Clients tell us that through their counseling relationship, they have become less fearful and more joyful. They transform past hurts and feel like they are becoming the best, most authentic version of themselves.

Carolyn Cruse
Therapist, LCSW
Trauma—whether an acute experience or the chronic trauma that can exist within oppressive systems—often disconnects people from their intuition and their sense of self. My goal is to help clients reconnect with their own wisdom and to cultivate lives and relationships that are fulfilling and joyful. I also specialize in helping clients who want to explore body image issues and divest from diet culture.

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, MA, LCPC
Let’s be honest - life can get pretty messy. It’s full of things like change (ugh!), other humans and events out of our control. Maybe you're having a hard time, and you don't even know "why". Maybe your relationships are stressful. Maybe society’s “-isms” (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.) are affecting your well-being. In therapy you get to decide what is important! I get the honor of walking with you as we figure out how to help you cope, manage, grow or heal.
