Crystal Lake 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.

Counselor, LPC
Therapy is an important place to explore many different areas within a person’s life. I believe that developing a collaborative therapeutic relationship is key to therapy. I strive to personalize the treatment of every client because therapy is not a 'one size' fits all concept. Empower yourself by mastering hard to manage emotions and build a mindful life. I strongly believe in the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change, as every individual is unique.
