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 identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and/or LGBTQ+? As an LGBTQ+ and BIPOC therapist, I know exactly how it feels to experience isolation and discrimination for just simply existing. My personal journey to supporting individuals in learning how to live and accept their most authentic selves started with my own lived experience. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults who may be leery about seeking help, or have had bad experiences with therapy in their past.
