Mesa 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.

The way we perceive and conceptualize ourselves and those around us profoundly impacts our day to day experiences. Where did you learn to think the way you do? Is your inner voice critical or compassionate? How are your thoughts and perceptions helping you? Are they negatively impacting you? You can change your narrative and change your life. To thrive means to grow or develop vigorously and we all deserve more than to survive. It’s my privilege to walk with you on your journey.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, CCTP
I work with all ages in general mental health; however, my specialty is working with children/adolescents ages 3-17 in all areas, including LGBTQIA+ & trauma. Children have yet to learn all the feelings they feel or what to call them. Together, we use different techniques that best helps the client express themselves and find the words to help them talk to their family & friends in a way that is understood. At BHCS we want every client to feel safe and heard and without judgment.

Amanda Leno
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, PMH-C
Our clients come from a wide range of backgrounds but all have one thing in common - they've made a step in a direction to better themselves. Some have been in therapy for years and just need to check in once periodically while some are in crisis and needing more intensive support. Regardless of the level of severity of need everyone deserves to be heard and understood so that they can be and do better.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MAT, MA
Life can be so hard. Sometimes we think, “I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to change,” or, “Is something wrong with me for feeling this way?” We may feel unable to connect with our most important people about what is really going on. We may feel unable to connect with ourselves. Sometimes we just get stuck. I get it—I’ve been there, too. I also know that with the right support, you don’t have to go through this alone, and you don’t have to feel this way forever.

It can be scary to wonder about and own your personal identity whether that be gender or sexuality. Perhaps you've had questions about your identity your entire life that you've kept in the back of your mind or maybe some article or video just sparked something for you now. It can feel like a daunting task to contemplate coming out in social circles and society. It can feel even more rewarding to live in a way that feels free and happy. I look forward to helping you get to free and happy.

Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, MSFT, LAMFT
Relationships are among the most rewarding and the most painful experience in this life. If you believe you are out of chances, the disconnection too gaping, and path forward unclear: know that you are not alone and there is always hope. We can identify the unhealthy patterns born from past hurts and trauma and begin to write a new story for you and your family. As you build trust in yourself and relationships you will gain the clarity and strength to stick to your values and live authentically.
