Seattle 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 Professional Counselor, MA, LMHCA
What just happened? What is going to happen next? If your life is not adding up right now - you are working tirelessly, and alone- or you cannot tell what is important to pay attention to, I hope you will reach out. Maybe too many people depend on you, or no one does. Do you have anyone to depend on? Is this latest chapter of life a flood of experiences? I want to support you in finding the space, grounding, and perspective you need to build security and community in your life.

Harry Dixon
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LMHC, LPCC
I have centered my practice around being a therapist who looks like and understands the lived experiences of the clients he serves. If you're a BIPOC and/or queer person who's feeling lonely, depressed, and lost and confused about who you are. You may be at a crossroads of knowing some or all of your identities but unsure how they all fit. I want you to know that there is hope for you, you are not alone and together we can make helpful changes and work towards your best self.

Phillip Coulson
Therapist, LMHCA MC 61211524
As an existentially trained therapist I believe that most people can benefit from therapy - sometimes especially those who are “OK”, “making it to the weekend,” and yet have a deep sense that something is wrong. How to live wisely and with integrity is a question perhaps more urgent than ever amidst the constant change and uncertainty all around us. More specifically, my lived experience as a nonbinary person means that I "get" what that's like in a way that cis therapists may not.

Counselor, MA, LMHCA
Many LGBTQ+ people have a hard time finding a place to turn when life goes wrong. This leaves us wondering “is there something wrong with me?” I'm a queer therapist who understands the unique support LGBTQ+ folks deserve so you can find confidence and live the life you want. As an LGBTQ+ person, you deserve a therapist who knows the unique struggles of being queer. Together, we can find the life you want to live.

Jill Muscatel
Counselor,
I work with couples after infidelity, experiencing differences in desire, at the precipice of big life decision, and who feel stuck. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Resnick Model, (Gestalt therapy), Gottman, and Somatic Transformation in my work with couples. As an experiential therapist, I am most interested in what is happening here-and-now to enable deeper understanding of behavior, patterns, and difficult to examine responses to enable more choice and contentment in your life.

Ellen Cline
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, MA, LMHC-A
Often my clients have been to a therapist or two in the past but haven't found what they were looking for. I work with people who have religious trauma, developmental trauma, complex PTSD, as well as people who are LGBTQ+, TCKS, artists, activists, and in the helping professions. My clients are resilient, creative, and brave people who are tired of the status quo and curious about doing deeper work to finally engage and transform the pain in their lives, instead of simply coping with it.

Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, MHP
*Currently Accepting Clients* You deserve to make yourself a top priority. Often times our efforts to belong or care for others leads us into self-neglect. Most of my clients have a history of surviving trauma, oppression, and self-critical narratives; those survival strategies can sometimes outstay their usefulness. We can work together to restore your sense of self and your ability to direct your life on your terms to achieve your goals!

Jeff Fickes
Counselor, LMHCA
I work with adults and older adolescents of all genders, races, and sexual orientations experiencing anxiety, self-doubt, who may feel stuck or experiencing transitions in their lives. Feeling cut off from emotions (numb), overwhelmed, stressed or burnout is an indication that something needs to be addressed. Having worked in the arts field, I have a fondness for creative individuals (entrepreneurs, artists, etc...) and a unique perspective on the trials of creative work.

Please visit my site, https://seattle-counseling.com. About 85% of my clients are erotic, sexual, gender and/or relational minorities. About 25% of them are people of color and/or ethnic minorities. Erotic, sexual, gender, racial, ethnic and relationally diverse clients experience multiple levels of minority stress. Their kinky and/or non-monogamous lives are at various levels of self-validation and ownership. I support every client who sees these parts of themselves as being growth-oriented.
