Gender Identity

Exploring your gender identity can bring up a wide range of emotions from uncertainty to clarity, from fear to empowerment. At Mile High Psychiatry, we offer supportive, gender-affirming care with providers who meet you with empathy, not assumptions.

What is Gender Dysphoria?

Gender dysphoria refers to the emotional distress experienced when a person’s gender identity does not align with the sex assigned at birth. While not every transgender or gender-diverse person experiences dysphoria, for those who do, it can significantly impact mental health and daily life.

Dysphoria may appear in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood and can evolve over time. Every journey is unique, and we’re here to support yours.

Understanding the Challenges

Transgender and gender-diverse individuals often face heightened levels of discrimination, stigmatization, and social rejection. These factors contribute to increased risks for depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.

Many individuals are subject to bullying in school or at work, denied access to affirming health care, or face barriers related to insurance coverage. These experiences can have lasting emotional and psychological effects.

At Mile High Psychiatry, we believe everyone deserves compassionate, affirming care free from judgment or expectation. Our team proudly provides an inclusive environment built on respect and acceptance.
