Pittsburgh 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.

In a world that is filled with judgement and stigma, a safe place where you can be yourself without apologizing is hugely important. I am a LGBTQIA+ and relationship minority affirming therapist, and I am particularly interested in working with folks struggling with LGBTQIA+ related issues. I also specialize in working with concerns surrounding self-esteem, trauma and PTSD, anxiety and panic, and depression--and all of the things that grow spider legs and derive from that.

Allison Lange
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
You're tired of putting yourself out there and not finding your "person". You've tried multiple therapists but just can't seem to connect. And without that connection, opening up and really digging in is hard. So you remain stagnant. You want to feel safe and supported, but also want someone to finally be blunt with you about what may be holding you back--and what may actually HELP. You're tired of merely surviving--you want to FINALLY feel like you are living authentically and truly thriving.

Meggan Hudspeth
Counselor, MSCP
I'm a LGBTQIA+ and relationship affirming (i.e. CNM) therapist. I incorporate nature-based techniques and movement (grounding techniques, yoga) so you can utilize nature to self-soothe and connect with something outside of yourself, and increase your awareness of the connection between mind and body so you can express it without judgment and without pause.

Moira Ryan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ACS, WPATH Certified Gender Specialist
You're likely here because your life isn't quite where you'd like it to be. You feel isolated, disconnected and frustrated. You're struggling with relationships. You're finding yourself reliving old patterns that are causing you pain. You've been trying to solve everything on your own but you're feeling stuck. You really need a space where you can talk through ALL of the jumbled up thoughts and feelings inside, because you're starting to feel like a pressure cooker.

Therapist, MA, ATR-P
One of the bravest things you can do is to take a deep dive into understanding your story. Your story may be filled with emotional turmoil, trauma, and overwhelming anxiety on how you’ll be able to pull through to the other side. Take a deep breath, relax, and let’s rewrite your story together. I invite you to talk about the taboo things (no topic is off limits), become comfortable in your own skin, and take the journey with me through self-exploration to finally arrive at your authentic self.

Ryan Delaney
Licensed Professional Counselor,
Being a male that never identified with stereotypical male expectations, the fluidity of gender has been an issue concept for me to grasp and understand. Couple that with my own teenager going through transition, I have the pleasure of addressing this issue both professionally and on a personal level. I pride myself on creating a judgment free, safe space for everyone to express themselves.

Let’s be real: being a person is hard. That’s an easy enough fact to acknowledge, but the truly difficult part is deciding when and where to put your vulnerabilities on display. While committing to the therapeutic process can feel unpredictable and is not without its messy bits, taking a step towards prioritizing yourself and your wellbeing is an act of incredible courage and a firm declaration of self-worth.
