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.

Sometimes we experience feelings of hollowness, sadness, anger, and anxiety. These challenges can impact our relationships with others and ourselves while creating obstacles in our daily lives. My professional and lived experience allows me to connect with those who have family trauma, mood disorders, and borderline traits. I also serve other individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, especially as it relates to exploring and defining personal identity.

As a non-binary member of the LGBTQ community, I know the importance of having a provider who is genuine, empathic, warm, and understanding of the issues others in the community face. I am also aware of specific challenges in finding appropriate and competent trans care providers, and work hard at reducing gatekeeping for those seeking transition services.

Dr. Sophia Murphy
Licensed Professional Counselor, DBH, LPC
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.

Ashlee Traasdahl
Student Therapist, BS
As a counselor, I believe that as individuals, we experience life through a lens shaped by many environmental, biological, and societal factors. Through better understanding our experiences and becoming aware of these factors that shaped us, we are able to move forward through life more authentically. I believe that finding meaning in life’s pain can bring great healing and that the broken-ness we feel is indicative of the journey of life.

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.

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.

Therapist, LAMFT, LAC
Maybe coming to therapy is an intuitive, easy next step for you. You know and trust yourself and know what you need from therapy. Or maybe you’re more tentative about this whole “therapy” thing. Life has, perhaps, taught you that trust is precious – that relationships can burn and reaching out for support could be dangerous. You may have even gotten the message not to believe in yourself or that self-advocacy isn’t okay. Well, surprise, I trust you and your inner wisdom and self-knowledge.

Are you an 'overthinker'? Self-doubt and the fear of making mistakes can lead to analysis paralysis leaving you both exhausted and with tasks uncompleted. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to get things done without second-guessing yourself or procrastinating? You may look at other people who don't seem to worry about the little things as much and feel that could never be you. It is possible. Through our work together, you can begin to feel more confident & live a more fulfilling life.

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.
