Pleasanton 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.

If you feel overwhelmed or tempted to numb out, you may identify as an introvert and/or even as a highly sensitive person (HSP). This may be your first time hearing about HSPs. We can work together to better understand yourself and how to move through the world without having to numb out or use unhealthy coping skills. Therapy can be difficult at times, and having a guide with you can help.

Psychologist, PSY31202
What makes us think, feel, and act the way we do? Through my research and practice, I learned that the way we see the world is influenced by a multitude of factors including our culture, race, upbringing, and sexual orientation - just to name a few. All of these variables came together in your life to play a part in how you feel, think, and act. In our work together, we will explore how your unique experiences may have contributed to the struggles and questions you have today.

Rayne Banneck
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT #124607
I serve primarily LGBTQIA+ populations as a member of this broad community myself. Nonmonogamous and/or kinky folks also find a place of acceptance in my office. I utilize trauma informed practices and find that clients who have trauma in their background are frequently drawn to work with me because I do not shy away from what they're bringing with them. Because I am direct, I find that people who require direct communication and autistic people are well-served by my approach.
