Overwhelmed by the state of the world or feeling quite unsure of how to build the life you want? You're certainly not alone—and you do not have to figure it out all by yourself. I'm Will Abshier, LPC (they/them), a gay, nonbinary Southerner specializing in LGBTQ+ mental health, identity exploration, mood disorders, and trauma. I draw from ACT, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches to meet each of my clients with creativity and care. Let’s talk and see if we’re a good fit for starting your therapy journey. Contact me here through PT or contact me through my website. I look forward to connecting with you!
My main focus is on LGBTQ+ mental health & wellness. In our community no two people share the exact same lived experience. This in mind, I guide each individual to identify their own unique values and use those to forge a path toward a fuller life. We can learn to both love the life we live & live a life the life we love.
Throughout our lives we ALL will find ourselves stuck at times, even suffering. It's not a punishment; in fact, these painful bits are part of a life lived fully. My hope for each of my clients is that I can provide perspective and pragmatic solutions to help you feel yourself again. If you can't see your path forward, I'd be honored to find it with you!

My practice focuses on mindfulness and behavioral-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). These therapies provide both space for processing emotions/experiences and a practical approach to coping. By making small, incremental changes in our approach to life we can experience much greater peace and flexibility.
