Katherine Kasserman

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10+ years in community mental health, specializing in LGBTQIA+ affirming care and trauma. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Illinois - Chicago and my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) at the University of Missouri - Columbia. Since graduating in 2015, I have been lucky to work in incredible community-based organizations in Los Angeles. My work with LGBTQIA+ and system-impacted folks informs my clinical lens and approach.

The very real impacts of systemic oppression and trauma can cause a sense of disconnect, leading us to move and cope in ways that don't align with our goals and values. I support clients to attune to their authentic self, embrace healing, and empower interdependence, self-determination and agency.

Using EMDR, DBT, and strengths-based approaches, our work together is collaborative — I follow your lead. Sessions feel honest, grounded, and free of judgment.
