Ridgewood 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.

If you know, or suspect, that you need mental health care outside the status quo, we may work well together! It’s normal to feel unwell in an unjust world. Many of us are struggling to find care that recognizes the political in mental health, encourages creativity, and focuses on experience over diagnosis. I aim to honor and meet these needs. If your body-mind is suffering, you're not crazy, you're not failing at being happy, and I'd be humbled to learn about your story.

My clients are of diverse backgrounds, and many are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. When first seeking help, they find themselves feeling stuck emotionally, in their relationships, or careers. I tend to work with creative individuals, though many don't necessarily identify themselves as 'an artist.' My approach doesn't require any artistic skill, as it's more about exploring your individual experience and focusing on self-expression.
