Northbrook 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.

Angel Buchanan
Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
Pressures from society often create a fear of judgment and shame. In turn, we learn to edit our thoughts and emotions without realizing it and feel further away from living an authentic and meaningful life. I believe that having a regular place where you can expect to speak freely and without judgment can bring you closer to feeling a sense of control in forging your life. I understand that beginning therapy can feel intimidating and aim to support you in this initial transition.

Carly Wolfram
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.

Kyla Dannelke
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, MA, LCPC.
When I first meet with people, some of my first questions I might ask are: - Do you have difficulty making decisions? - Feel stuck or lost when it comes to your direction in this busy life you've got going on? - Do you feel like things are just simply, unmanageable? I want my clients to feel at home in my office and talking to me about all of these questions, the way you feel comfortable talking to your closest friends and confidants.
