Intersectionality is the intellectual framework for understanding how various aspects of our individual identity interact; gender is a crucial aspect of our identity.

Problematic gender norms and socio-cultural expectations for cis-gender individuals, or issues arising for those who identify as a transgender, gender expansive or non-binary (such as experiencing abuse or dysphoria) can contribute to anxiety, depression and minority stress. This is also true of those involved in non-monogamous relationship structures. Therapy can provide a safe space to explore your gender, and/or relationships with others as your gender identity evolves.
