It might feel like rejection, fear of missing out, and inner criticism are very real for your teenager.

Wisdom Within Counseling also specializes with same sex couples, transgender adults, and gender diversity. Have you recently started taking testosterone? Are you questioning your gender and wanting support coming out? If you are coming out as non-binary, transgender, bigender, a demigirl, gay, or pansexual, or just want to talk, this is what we do best. We are educated in LGBTQIA+ and queer affirming counseling. It can be helpful to sort through it all and gain some affirming support in counseling.
Did you know gender identity is a person’s sense of themselves and who they are? Sometimes, it is different and more complex than the typical boy/girl restroom sign, including male, female, both or neither.
Often, children will express their gender in diverse ways and this is normal. Even into adulthood, gender is ever evolving, so take the time to experiment with your gender expression.
When children and teenagers who are gender fluid or gender diverse, might behave or dress in ways that are different than traditional gender stereotypes. Gender diverse children and adults may have a different length hair or wear clothes that aren’t what other people expect. If family rejection is occurring , seek counseling with us right away.
Did you know gender dysphoria describes a transgender person whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth? We specialize in transgender affirming counseling.
If your teenager is gender questioning or transgender, they may strongly say that their gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. As well, your teenager may tell you that they are questioning their gender or want a name change.
In addition, your teenager may ask you to call them by a different name. As well, they may use a different pronoun like ‘he’, ‘she’ or ‘they/them.’
Around their period, a trans male may have more anxiety or depression. Trans teens often want to get rid of the physical signs of their sex assigned at birth.
