Brentwood 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.

Counselor, M.A. , NCC
Life throws curve balls that often knock us down and leave us blindsided–however, painful and difficult experiences do not have to define the essence of you as a person; rather those experiences can be a starting point to creating a more authentic, connected version of yourself. I have experience working with couples/relationship issues, families, children, adolescents, and adults.

Whitney Shariati
Counselor, TLMFT
I work with people who are navigating the tension between what feels most aligned with who they are & the pressures/expectations from external factors like family, communities, & society. Unfortunately, many people experience feelings of shame or confusion during this process, making it difficult to embrace their true selves (values, beliefs, identity, passions, preferences) & causing them to settle for a life that doesn’t reflect what’s truly important to them.

Emotions can feel overwhelming, ruminating thoughts can be tiresome, and impulsive behavior can feel out of our control. I aim to help you cultivate curiosity to gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to assist you in living the life you want to live. Whether you are exploring aspects of your identity, facing new life challenges, or unpacking old patterns of behavior, I would be honored to be a part of your story and help you heal.

Dean Ross
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed, LPC-MHSP, NCC, CTMH
“Why can’t I just be happy?” Does that thought sound familiar? It’s easy to feel that way especially if you’ve been thinking the same way for a while. Feeling unhappy is just that, a feeling. The good thing about thoughts and feelings is that they change if you let them and you can change your relationship to them. I believe we’re all doing our best, but sometimes we can feel stuck, whether it’s in our relationships, jobs, or general way of thinking.

Dan Dumont
Therapist, LCSW
As a transgender and non-binary person, I had a hard time finding my path, and I had a hard time finding people who could guide me. Getting quality support changed my life. I have been out as transgender since 2004. I have also sought out professional training and consultation on these topics, through Gender Spectrum and Fenway Health, so I do not rely solely on my personal experiences as a transgender individual. I keep up to date on research, and am happy to share resources for family/friends.

Psychotherapist, MA, LPC, NCC, CCMHC
I work with a lot of clients that are working through a life transition. This could be a major life event, determining who they are or meant to be, or grief. Often these life transitions can be challenging for us (change and uncertainty is difficult) but I believe it is through these moments that we can become more of our true selves and learn how to become more capable and stable. I am currently not taking additional new clients at this time.

Marriage & Family Therapist, MMFC/T
You’ve spent so much time and energy making other people happy that you’ve lost touch with who you truly are. You wonder if your struggles even matter in light of all the “real” problems of others. And you worry that you’ll never be enough, especially if you’re yourself (whoever that is). You want to feel vibrant and joyful again, like yourself again. I help people like you recover a sense of calm, compassion and connection with yourself, those you love, and your world.

You feel stressed and exhausted every day. You are overwhelmed, feeling stuck, alone, and hopeless. It seems no one understands what you are struggling with. Do you question your identity and your place in the world? Your self-esteem is pretty low and you may have trouble setting healthy boundaries at work or with loved ones. Your inner critic whispers that you are not enough and you don't deserve better. Life feels so so incredibly hard and you realize it is time to seek help.

My clients often struggle with perfectionism and the anxiety and depression that accompany it. It can feel like you're doing everything in your power to be the very best... and nothing measures up. Or maybe you really are the best at what you do, and the pressure to maintain that is overwhelming you. Either way, it can be exhausting and lead to significant anxiety and depression. Let's work together to find your way to a happier state of being. You don't have to be perfect to be happy!
