Folx who are autistic or have ADHD. (I have lived experience with this)
Folx with chronic pain and illness (I have lived experience with this).
Folx with a conservative religious upbringing navigating the harm of religious trauma with their gender and/or sexuality identity. (Also have lived experience with this).

Hi everyone!! You may have heard that I have moved to Texas. Well, I have moved to Texas, but I am still licensed in Georgia and committed to still see all my current and future clients in Georgia. All my sessions are telehealth through video, so to my clients, nothing has changed but my background. If you are looking for a completely trans affirming therapist who is secular and a safe space to explore and grow, please reach out. The link in my bio will take you to my website with contact info and a link to make an appointment online.

So, I recently became a Houstonian y’all! I had to check out Katy Pride’s birthday bash last night and I just had a ball celebrating with them. Also, check out the Transparent clothes closet and support group room. It really is just amazing what they are doing for the trans community.

I know it’s so very hard right now. But this is your month and I am going to be louder and louder. Happy Pride Y’all! Try your best to have some trans joy if you can or relish in the days you have gender euphoria. If you need someone to talk to you about your gender identity and transition or the rough times nowadays, I am here for you. Reach out for an appointment or free consultation. I decided to be a little crafty for this year’s Pride.

Today, I had the privilege of writing a gender support surgery letter for a woman in TX and supported a technology professional through her coming out journey. I also supported a trans person with disabilities and processed how fat phobia affects us.

I am visiting Seattle these last few days and I am excited to see affirming businesses and signs and flags all over. I know the world honestly sucks right now. I do, but there are people that love and honor and care for the LGBTQ and trans community. I am one of them. in Seattle is too.

You can work with me for ongoing expert gender or LGBTQ affirming therapy if you live in GA, TX, NC, SC or FL. I will also write gender affirming support letters for hormones and all surgeries.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Today you and the world need to know that Trans people matter and they should be lifted up and celebrated and in today’s climate, they should be protected. You matter today and every single other day too!

CEU: Ethically Supporting Our Trans Youth Clients Through the Harm of Anti-Trans Legislation

Across the nation, anti-trans laws and executive orders have been passed this year and in the last three years that prohibit gender affirming care and medical and/or surgical treatment to the transgender community for youth under age 18. Clinicians are now tasked with walking with our clients through this new climate of anti-trans laws towards the transgender community. What is your role as a clinician for your client and their family? How will these laws affect you and your license or ability to treat? How can you continue to affirm your transgender youth clients? All of these questions will be answered by Katie Leikam, LCSW, LISW-CP, WPATH v8 GEI certified clinician, and taught during this informative CEU that every transgender affirming clinician needs to take.

2 Ethics CEU hours for LCSW, LPC, LMFT’s approved by the UGA School of Social Work.
Fee: 95.00
