Naperville 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, MA, ALMFT
Do you ever feel "stuck" in your life or within your relationships? Whether it be in your own life, career, family or personal relationships, life can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. So much of who we are and how we live our lives revolves around the relationships we are in and how healthy these are. That being said, we are rarely taught 'how to' engage in good relationships, let alone how to nurture, care for, or repair them. Navigating relationships is an art - one that can be learned!

Erica Essary
Clinical Psychologist, PsyD CAADC
People I work with are often overwhelmed with what is happening in their lives and feel they do not have the tools and/or the mental resources to get through these issues on their own. They may be dealing with anxiety or depression symptoms or both. People may also feel they are trying their best to be there for others, their work, or their education, and realize they are not showing up for themselves and their needs. I help people create boundaries in their lives and practice self-care.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
If everyday life is a struggle because anxiety, panic attacks and stress, please reach out! My clients often crave a full, meaningful life, but struggle to get out into the world because of their own thoughts and feelings. This is common, but it's not a life sentence! Many of my clients have struggled for years, but find themselves at the point where it seems like nothing is getting better (and maybe they're even "stuck"). Others feel like they're controlled by their own emotions.

It always amazes me the complete turn around clients can do with the tools they already have, they just needed to discover, reorganize or sharpen a few things. Clients who typically seek me out are looking for a therapist who specializes in trauma, perinatal or postpartum issues, women's issues, anxiety or who can help support them in a significant life transition.
