While gender dysphoria itself is not a core area of clinical specialization in our practice, we are experienced in providing merciful, informed support for the emotional distress that can arise from identity-related struggles.
When Identity and Mental Health Intersect
Our clinicians are skilled in supporting individuals who may experience:
- Distress related to gender identity in the context or trauma or autism spectrum differences
- Anxiety, depression, or low self-worth linked to family rejection or social invalidation
- Difficulty navigating personal or relational dynamics as an LGBTQ+ individual
We serve from a foundation of respect, with no agenda or assumptions—just space for you to process and feel emotionally supported.
