It's Complicated

Find a therapist that can help with Gender dysphoria

Gender dysphoria is a condition where a person experiences distress or discomfort as a result of the mismatch between their gender identity and their assigned gender at birth. This mismatch may manifest in a variety of ways, including feeling uncomfortable with one's body, feeling like one is living in the wrong gender, or feeling like one is not being true to oneself. Therapy can be helpful for people with gender dysphoria in a number of ways. Here are a few examples: Exploration of gender identity: Therapy can provide a safe space for individuals to explore their gender identity and understand their feelings about their gender. This can involve discussing their experiences and thoughts about gender, exploring their personal history, and learning more about the range of gender identities. Support for transitioning: Therapy can be helpful for individuals who are considering or undergoing gender transition. A therapist can help with the process of coming out, finding resources for transitioning, and managing the emotional and practical challenges that may arise during this time. Coping with discrimination: People with gender dysphoria may face discrimination, prejudice, or even violence as a result of their gender identity. Therapy can provide a supportive environment for individuals to discuss their experiences of discrimination and develop coping strategies to manage the emotional impact. Improving mental health: Gender dysphoria can be a source of significant distress and may contribute to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Therapy can help individuals manage these symptoms and develop strategies to improve their mental health and well-being.

About It's Complicated

In 2019, two therapists set out to tackle a complicated problem.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung once wrote that, “Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble”. One does not have to be a therapist, though, to realize that life is complicated. But finding the right therapist, who you can build a strong relationship with, shouldn’t have to be. This is the founding principle of It’s Complicated.Since our start, we've helped over 23,000 clients and counting, offering thousands of free crisis support hours, and built thriving therapy communities in Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Munich, and Athens.
