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.

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.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Masters of Art, Psychology:Counseling
The question is: What is tangling you up? Are you tangled up in anxiety, sadness,& doubt? Are you held by insecurity &uncertainty? Are you slowed by feeling disconnected & getting caught unaware? Have the paths become overgrown and you can’t find or are questioning the sign before you? Growth is about using and building new skills, all of which take time, and nurturing. Growth is about finding solutions that apply to the situation and not just the general world.

Ever felt alone in a crowded room? Had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to cry? Have thoughts that keep you up at night? You are not alone, many struggle with depression and anxiety daily. These struggles cause poor performance at work, poor concentration in school and cause us to say things that we don’t mean to the ones that we love. In therapy, I can help you identify ways to improve your quality of life and create a safe space for you to overcome the barriers preventing your success.
