Decatur 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.

Shana Wright Wood
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, SEP, CRC
I work with sensitive systems that are seeking balance. You may be looking for a therapeutic space to feel fully seen and heard, and to access for yourself the inner wisdom that comes so easily when helping others. People who connect with me may be experiencing symptoms of trauma, stress, anxiety, and relational wounding. I connect with artists, students, and seekers, with people who exist in the margins and are curious about using a creative approach to therapy.

Social Worker, LMSW, BC-TMH
Do you ever feel like the world misunderstands you or you just don’t quite fit in? Are you tired of the world trying to fit you into a “box” that you don't belong in? Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or uncertain in life? I welcome individuals from all walks of life seeking support and particularly appreciate working with LGBQ+, trans, non-binary and gender expansive individuals seeking to explore current challenges in an affirming and supportive space.

Erin Lightman Renner
Associate Professional Counselor, MS, APC, NCC
Every person has formed their own ways of coping that have allowed them to make it this far. Those ways of coping were necessary for survival, but now they might be getting in the way of personal growth. I help clients identify destructive patterns and learn new ways to move through the world. I practice as an LGBTQIA+, poly, and kink affirming clinician.

Change is super scary. It can be isolating and anxiety provoking, and sometimes plain old depressing! You might feel like you are constantly in flux or a state of transition. These transitions seem to be continuous, at times exhausting, and adapting to change or evolving in the process is an area that is often overlooked in terms of support needs. You deserve a sense of validation and understanding of your emotional experiences no matter where you are on whatever your journey might be.

Powell Burke
Psychotherapist, LCSW
As human beings, we often find ourselves wanting more freedom, or perhaps wanting more purpose in our lives, or craving a sense of inner peace. Other times, we find ourselves caught up in difficult and challenging relationships in our personal lives or at work. Whether your life feels overwhelming or underwhelming, I believe that care and courage, along with some healthy curiosity can go a long way in helping you locate new possibilities and finding solutions that work for you.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT 001350
You’re a go-getter. You believe that if there is a way to work your way out of a problem, then defining those steps will get you out of this slump, worry, and recurring conflict. A creeping sense of unease can look like fear, sleeplessness, dissatisfaction, or sadness coupled with the stress of responsibilities you already have. Your upset might manifest as frequent arguing with your partner or emotional numbing. You want to figure this thing out, so you can all get back to normal.

Making space for life—as it is in the here and now—opens a door toward a future full of vibrant possibilities, gently waiting for you to arrive.

My clients are sensitive, resilient, creative people who are feeling stuck, tired, hurt, or struggling. I help them process trauma so they can reconnect with themselves and others as well as shift old patterns so they can live more freely in the present. We spend time recovering and uncovering their resources. I respect the dedication it takes to live an authentic life, how each has survived to be where they are, and I provide that same dedication and authenticity to each of my clients.

My practice focuses on making you feel safe, comfortable, and confident. As a client you will likely find me using humor and relatable stories, but always striving to meet your specific needs in the present moment. Clients often find our sessions to be helpful in relaxing and recharging. I especially enjoy building relationships with LGBTQI clients. As a gay man in Atlanta who survived “coming out” as a young adult , I can identify with LGBTQ+ culture while providing genuine support.

It’s easy to start feeling a little “stuck” at times — like what used to work just isn’t doing to the trick anymore. I’ve found this to be especially true now, when our world feels more different than ever. So if you’re feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, anxious, or not quite like yourself, let me remind you that simply visiting this page means that you’re already taking steps toward change.
