Baltimore 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.

Adrien Leacy
Clinical Social Worker , LCSW-C
I don't assume that my lived experience makes me an expert on trans and gender issues. That's why I have pursued ongoing supervision and consultation from other respected trans-identified therapists, and attended gender wellness conferences and other trainings since before I began to work with gender diverse clients. Whether you (or your child) are starting to question your identity, need surgery letters, or are somewhere in between, I'm here to support you at the pace that feels right to you.

Exploring the influence of the gender binary, gender roles, how various cultures view gender differently, gender markers, correct pronouns, having discussions around gender identity with loved ones, friends, or co-workers.

I personally understand how painful it can be to go to someone for support and instead be met with invalidation or rejection. My goal as a counselor is therefore to create a space where my clients feel safe, seen, and celebrated for who they are.

Evan Harris *waitlist only*
Social Worker, LCSW-C
Are you afraid that your proclivities towards kink or polyamory/ethical non-monogamy are due to trauma? I would almost certainly disagree. Are you afraid that if you see a therapist for your trauma they'll attribute your kinkiness or poly-ness to that trauma? I won't. Ever. Imagine a life without anxiety, inexplicable anger, deep sadness, or panic attacks. You're feeling like there must be a better way to live; I can help you find it.

As a non-binary, queer clinician - I’m passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ people who want to improve their lives, work through deeper issues, and live authentically. I work with clients who may want to focus on issues related to sexuality, gender, or identity; and clients who just need a therapist who understands, so that other issues like relationships, attachment, self-esteem, or executive function can be the focus of our work together.

NICHOLAS ETHERIDGE
Counselor, LCPC, NCC
In therapy, it's Nick's goal to help you identify specific emotions and experiences so that feeling joy from life doesn't seem daunting. Maybe you're craving vulnerability, but that also scares you. Maybe you know you're missing *something* but have no idea what. That's okay. Let's look at this through a compassionate lens and figure it out together.
