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 are 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.

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.

I will be there every step of the way to support you in forging new paths and helping you discover and build the life you have always imagined.

Hannah Harden
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.

Matt Mills
Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd, LPC, MHSP, NCC
How do you cope when there's anger, sadness, and anxiety around you and within you? These are normal feelings, but maybe they've begun to take a bigger role in your life than you'd like. Maybe your social, school, or work life is not living up to expectations as a result. Often this happens when we are lost in our own minds -- we lose sight of how to manage tough emotions and how to find small joys in life. My goal is to help you recapture your control and passion for life.

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!

Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck? You’re tired of trying to fit in and deeply want to find where you belong. You used to be ok, but now you’re just not as vibrant as you’d like. I get what it feels like to wake up not wanting to get out of bed, to struggle to do the things you used to love, and the constant worrying that you’ll never be enough, especially if you’re yourself. Life in an unjust and unpredictable world is hard enough without fighting yourself. There is hope.

Because counseling can be scary and hard work, I believe in creating a space with mutual trust and respect, allowing for deep wounds to be healed.

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.
