Cyn Clarfield

My practice specializes in gender identity development and sexual orientation. I primarily work with adolescents (16+) and young adults (as well as adults beginning to question their identity). Therapy focuses on anxiety management, gender dysphoria, coming out, improving self-esteem, connection to community, relationship skills, and the process of transitioning (if desired). Whether someone is exploring new feelings or has identified as LGBTQ+ for years, they may face internal or external challenges leading to confusion and stress. Working with an experienced therapist trained in gender and sexual minority issues can help. I have been working with the LGBTQ+ community for over a decade providing individual therapy and evaluations/letters for gender-affirming surgery. I also offer consultation to parents who feel anxious about their child coming out. My goal is to promote a supportive and understanding space that will ultimately strengthen the parent-child relationship.
