Casey McFarland (she/her)

I have received Gender ASSET training through Gender U (with WPATH certified instructor), which is continuing education that teaches clinicians how to use an assessment tool developed by trans and genderqueer mental health professionals in support of transgender clients preparing to undergo surgery as part of their gender transition.

I have a certificate from PennWest University in Spiritual/Ethical/Religious counseling. This involved specific grief and loss education as well as an inclusive existential lens to practice through.

I'm rooted in the belief that every individual has the capacity for self-growth and healing. In this approach, I focus on creating a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and understood. By fostering empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity, I help individuals explore their feelings, overcome obstacles, and connect with their true selves. The goal is to empower clients to trust their own inner wisdom and make meaningful, self-directed changes in their lives.

Let's explore the big questions of life—meaning, purpose, freedom, and mortality. This approach helps individuals confront life’s uncertainties and challenges, encouraging them to reflect on their values and create a life that feels authentic. We work together to explore fears, dilemmas, and the search for meaning, helping clients embrace personal responsibility and live with intention.

I help individuals heal from spiritual and religious trauma, providing a safe space to process hurt, confusion, and disillusionment. Whether it’s recovering from harmful teachings or navigating a crisis of faith, I support clients in finding peace and rebuilding their sense of self. My approach is about honoring each person’s journey, helping them heal from the past, and reclaim their spiritual identity in a way that feels authentic and empowering- whether that is living with new faith, or none!

Grief and loss can feel like an overwhelming weight, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or any other kind of deep emotional loss. Grief is unique to each person, and there’s no right or wrong way to grieve. I offer a space where clients can express their pain, confusion, and anger, helping them make sense of it all. My goal is to support individuals in honoring their grief while also finding ways to heal and move at their own pace.

Navigating LGBTQIA+ identity can be a deeply personal and sometimes challenging journey. I am here with you as you explore your identities, face societal pressures, and overcome the unique challenges that come with being part of the community. Whether it's coming out, managing family dynamics, or finding acceptance and belonging, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to be their authentic selves. I'm here to support every step of the way, empowering clients to free from shame.

I focus on the dynamics between individuals and how relationships shape our experiences. Whether it's romantic, family, or friendships, I help clients understand their patterns, improve communication, and build healthier, more fulfilling connections. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, helping clients navigate conflicts, heal from past hurts, and create deeper, more meaningful relationships.
