Bethesda 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.

Do you feel trapped by circumstances beyond your control? Are you unable to escape negative thoughts? Have you forgotten why you made the decisions that led you to this moment? Talk therapy can offer a way forward. Therapy can be a safe space to catch your breath, to talk out ideas that feel strange or risky, and to devise a new strategy for reconnecting with your best self.

Robin Brannan
Therapist, Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT)
I love helping children ages 4+ discover their superpowers, learn to manage their emotions, build great friendships, and succeed at school. I also help parents understand and collaborate with their children to build a family life they truly enjoy. Families often come to me when their child's ADHD, anxiety, autism, or learning difference has started to make family life more stressful than fun. If you and your partner fight about parenting, I can help you get back on the same page too.

Lesley McGee
Counselor, LMHC/LCPC
When my clients are functioning at their best they are creative, playful, passionate, and hard-working. They are adults aged 18+ who are interested in a holistic look at their wellbeing (including factors like sleep quality, relationships, movement etc.). When struggling they tend to find themselves overwhelmed with worry, self-doubt, and/or self-criticism. They are also curious about their body sensations and what that information may mean for their mental health.

Psychologist, PsyD
Everyone goes through life writing their own reproductive story: how they might see themselves as a parent (or not); how many kids they might want; and what their family will look like. I work with individuals and couples of all gender identities and sexualities to help build their families, especially when their story hits a detour. I believe in being authentic and offering connection as well as compassion to my clients, as well as skills or guidance in navigating these difficult waters.

My clients are residents of Maryland and range from teenagers to adults from all walks of life who are working through transitions or seeking a more authentic way of being. Many of my clients are navigating their gender or sexual identity in the face of family, religion, or societal expectations. Some of my clients are tired of feeling generally *bad* due to anxiety, depression, past trauma, body image issues, or low-self esteem. They seek the feeling of worthiness and love that we all deserve.

No, you're not crazy and there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with you! Relationships require work but maybe you’re working harder than ever and still coming up short. Still left feeling overwhelmed with emotion, anxious, angry, or confused. I get it! It's challenging. Life doesn't have to be a constant balancing act constantly shifting yet never feeling steady. Maybe you’ve had some life transitions. Change is tough but it shouldn't have to feel like you'll break down at any moment.

Trying to move past depression, anxiety, trauma, or feeling like no one cares about or sees you, can be overwhelming and feel hopeless. I completely connect to these feelings and have helped many people find hope and begin thriving in a curated and successful life. I have helped many couples do this together as well, moving past infidelity, broken trust, and deep feelings of hurt. There is hope and we can create it together.
