Have you ever had one of those days that turned into weeks or months, maybe even years? Days where you wake up and would rather just pull the blanket back over your head and hide away? I'm certain that we've all had them. But, when those days outnumber the good days or when you feel like there's just no use in getting up because things won't change, that's when I can offer help.

My name is Kassie J. Weiland, I view therapy as a dynamic and evolving relationship. During my 30+ years working with youth and families, I’ve found my approach should be as unique as you are. You can expect me to be interactive, honest, and caring. Still, I will comfortably challenge you to talk about those issues holding you back and interfering in healing and becoming the person you want to be.

For many of us who have felt different, including those in the LGBTQIA+, we live with the collective trauma of existing in a system that isn’t built for us to thrive as our authentic selves. My hope is that through our collaboration we will be able to explore and identify the experiences and traumas that have led you to seek therapy services, understand how these problem areas don’t impact what is the most obvious, but also understand that sometimes these problems go much deeper, and lastly work through the things we discover to help you push through the discomfort to empower you to live authentically.

Your thoughts, feelings, and emotions are what make you human. And sometimes we need someone else to help us unravel some of those thoughts, feelings, or emotions. As someone who has struggled with anxiety, panic attacks, LGBTQA+ issues, people pleasing, life transitions and has sat on the other side of a therapy session, I understand how hard it can be to reach out to someone for help when we're in a tough time. My hope is that I can be a safe space for you to understand what you're going through and help find helpful ways to cope to become your most authentic self.

I am proud to say I’m able to create a space where people feel safe to talk about vulnerable things, like BIPOC folks discussing microaggressions, queer people facing discrimination, or couples experiencing sexual issues.
Therapy can be a great space for figuring out what you want out of life and creating the roadmap to make it happen. I always want your perspective to be heard and your feelings to be validated. Together, we’ll move at a pace that’s comfortable for you. You’re in control here. I love seeing people redirecting their energy, putting in a little effort, and experiencing relief. I often see people feeling really motivated by this, gaining a sense of empowerment to keep going, and take back control of their lives – shifting away from just surviving to actually thriving.

Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
