Franklin 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.

Chris Hancock
Psychotherapist, LCSW, ACMHP
My clients come to learn to accept all 'parts' of themselves, and release what no longer serves. They are individualists, empaths, seekers, rebels with a cause. They're responsible consciousness explorers, spiritual and non-ordinary 'experiencers.' They are mind-body-spirit and energetically-aware, seekers of progressive and practical holistic healing. They're about raising their vibration and embodying their true purpose. Ultimately, they're after greater wholeness and integration.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Intern, MMFT
Are you stuck in patterns that seem to repeat themselves? In anxiety, in depressed moods, in traumatic memories, fueled by shame or by fear, living out a script that you can't seem to shake? You know you need to heal but you've tried therapy before and you're still stuck. Having a partner to carry this burden with you and ensure safety is what you need and is what I offer my clients.

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.

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.

Colleen Werner
Psychotherapist,
Most of my clients are struggling with eating disorders, body image issues, trauma, suicidality, and/or BPD. You may have been told that your body is bad or you are bad. You may struggle with regulating your emotions. You may struggle with conflict in relationships. You may have survived traumatic experiences. You may feel like it's impossible to respect your body or to find freedom from the overwhelming emotions you're experiencing – and I'm here to help you discover that it truly is possible.

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.

If you’re wrestling with anger, sadness, or anxiety, you are not alone. Perhaps your personal or professional life suffers as a result. These struggles can also become more pronounced in those with a concussion/mild TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) history, as I have experienced myself. Lost in our minds, we struggle with how to manage tough emotions and how to find small joys. Together, we will work to recapture your control, passion for life, and take steps towards growth.

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!

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.
