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.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, NCC
You're finding yourself spiraling into the abyss inside of your mind. Your anger seems to go from 0-100 out of no where. You feel like there is velcro sticking between you and your bed, and your limbs feel heavy as you manage to get through each day. You're absolutely exhausted from all of the "masking" you have to do to get through and "be a normal person".

Casey McFarland
Student Therapist, BA
You can no longer show up "in parts" and compartmentalize your life based on everyone else's comfort. It's bullsh!t and you know it, and you've hit a wall but have no idea where to even start. You can't wait 7 sessions to assess whether or not THIS is the time that you can FULLY unload the things that weigh you down and keep you up at night full of shame, fear, and anger. You don't have that kind of time. And you definitely don't have the capacity.

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.

Blake Macurdy
Counselor, MSEd, NCC
You are someone who is fed-up, tired and a little pissed off about feeling stuck. In your emotions, in your trauma, in a relationship, in a job that you hate, in a body that you hate... I want to help you attend to yourself, process and move forward from that which no longer serves or nourishes you. You don’t want to feel as though you’re simply going through the motions, but that you can find meaning and enjoyment in your existence.

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.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I am a LGBTQIA+ and relationship minority affirming therapist. We all deserve to be seen and heard for who we are and not what others want us to be. We all deserve a place where we can let our guards down and just simply be--not just parts of us, but our whole selves. It is of utmost importance to me that I provide a safe, supportive, respectful space. I believe you, the client, are the expert of your own experience and I genuinely look forward to learning about your worldview.
