Clayton Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

Holly Shiels

Do you notice yourself scrolling through your phone, binge watching TV, always on the go, or shutting down completely? “I’m fine,” you say, “just tired”. For my clients, they realized that they were, in fact, not fine. They decided this was not the most joyful, fulfilled life that they could imagine for themselves. It was actually filled with anxiety, numbing, and a sense of deep self doubt. If this sounds like you and you are open to exploring another way, this is the place for you.

Katie Killeen

I provide gender-affirming therapy for clients seeking to understand their identity and the cultural & personal blocks in knowing themselves. In therapy, we safely explore parts of ourselves that may have felt rejected and betrayed, creating new rhythms of comfort and compassion. I work with clients who are both exploring their gender and clients who are confident in their gender in both individual and relationship therapy.

Kristin Kneedler

At some point in every person’s life, therapy can be helpful. People who seek therapy are engaging in a healthy, proactive approach towards their life. They are typically seeking to implement positive, lasting life change and growth.

Lori Becker

I have extensive experience working with transgender patients and follow the WPATH standards of care. I provide individual, family, and group therapy for transgender, gender-queer, gender questioning, and non binary individuals. In addition to gender therapy, I also provide Psychological Evaluations and Support Letters for Hormone Therapy and Gender Confirming Surgeries.

We may be a good fit for each other if any of the following statements describe you • You’ve been struggling with your relationships with your family and/or friends • You have a hard time saying no to others, and want to learn how to set appropriate boundaries • You live between cultures and can’t seem to find the middle ground • You want to connect with yourself and come to a deeper understanding of who you are, and what you desire in life.

Kevin Webb II

You are a new student and have been struggling with balancing work, social life and homework. You want to connect with others but you feel the guilt and shame for not focusing on homework or the work you brought home from your occupation. Not to mention your relationship with your partner is suffering and communication is at an all time low. You were vibrant and hopeful but now everything seems to be doom and gloom. You want to to enjoying life and you know that something needs to change.

Kelly Pittman

You want to feel confident in yourself; giving yourself the compassion and grace that you give to others. You're ready to start a mindfulness practice that gives you space to actually feel, acknowledge and let go of feelings. You want to be 100% authentic and alive in your own life; being yourself and feeling supported. You are done with your inner critic and ready for some calm and peace. I can help with this.

Stephanie Dunn

Do you struggle with feelings of persistent anxiety and depression? Are you having difficulty moving past previous trauma? Or maybe you feel trapped by the pressures of abiding by societal norms? Learn how to accept yourself for who you are, not compare yourself to others, grow in confidence and strength, and write your own story.

Kathryn Stinson

More than ever, our culture finds itself confronted with the simple fact that many people’s lived experience, relationships, and sense of self do not match the restrictive gender and sexuality boxes we have required people to live in. Gender non-conforming people are refusing to accept these restrictions any longer. And yet, we have so much farther to go. Discrimination, inequality, microaggressions, and hate crimes still impact so many lives. The threats of violence faced by transgender women of color in particular are staggering and unacceptable. You need a therapist who is not only open and affirming, but well informed. I offer both individual and couples therapy for adults and can provide referrals for gender non-conforming clients...

Kelly Storck

Gender care work and the support of trans and non-binary humans is the most deliberate work that I do. I see people across the lifespan and can assist with identity exploration, transition needs, minority stress impacts and overall mental wellness. I can include work with loved ones, if desired.

Ashley Bell

If you're exhausted with feeling inadequate, anxious, or overwhelmed, you are in the right place! Which one of these sounds like you? I hate my job; My partner and I fight all the time; I feel stuck in my trauma; I don't know what I want to do with my life. My clients are a mix of couples that would like to work on conflict resolution, young people with anxiety and/or trauma, and high-achieving managers that always feel like they're failing.

Greg Tissi

If you find yourself still unsatisfied after achieving the things you thought would bring contentment then you have arrived. Get off the exhausting treadmill, move with intention, and realign with the trust you have envisioned for yourself. Expect space to be held just for you, room to breathe, and authentic, non-judgmental support. In a sex-positive, trauma-informed, and integrative space, all genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities, ages, and bodies are welcome. Success takes many forms.

Scott Heuer

Society places several stereotypes on various groups of people only to be adopted by these individuals which causes a deformed sense of self-worth. I look forward to working with clients who want to change societies perspective of them from being deemed as "unworthy", to a greater sense of self-worth. I love seeing client's find their motivation to make a change to create a more self-fulfilling idea of them self which empowers me as a therapist when that strength is found and creates change.

Abigail Green

Do you often feel stuck in your relationship? You care deeply for your partner, but you may argue constantly and struggle to feel connected. I help couples make the changes necessary to feel connected again, as well as create a more satisfying future. I also work with individuals who have been traumatized, helping you heal when you decide to face your truth, challenge years of silence, and are empowered to take control of your story.

Melissa Anderson

Life can be incredibly hard at times. We can't control or change what has happened to us, what we needed but didn't get, or how isolating and confusing things can be. Sometimes we don't understand why we feel the way we do, how people interact with us, our reactions, or what to do next. Maybe we don't feel much at all. I know reflecting on our behaviors, thought patterns, and life experiences can be incredibly difficult, and I’m here to support you through that process.

Steven Fields

My ideal clients are gay, Black men with sexuality/relational, spiritual, and/or career development concerns. I have recently embraced persons with transgender experiences in psychotherapy. “Ideal” does NOT mean “exclusive”—much of my best work has been with people who identify as marginalized, under-represented, and or minorities.

Christina Bergren

My clients are people who are looking to start fresh after experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, or any other life altering event. Many of my clients are working individuals who have experienced a life event that has changed their path. Whether it be divorce, a death in the family, or another related family issue I can help you. I also work with school aged children suffering from behavioral concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, or adjustment issues.

Christina Bergren

I serve clients who have or are currently suffering from anxiety, depression, stress, or any sort of trauma. I work with people ages 18 and up.
