If you're an adolescent or young adult feeling untethered, like the people around you have shifted, like your effort isn't matching your results, or like you're falling short no matter how hard you try, I want you to know that's exactly what I help with. I'm Heather Case, Ed.D., a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC/LSC) with over 25 years of experience at the intersection of mental health and education. I work with adolescents and young adults navigating identity development, life transitions, anxiety, ADHD, and the emotional impact of learning differently in a system built for one kind of learner, including students navigating IEP or 504 plans. My own experience as a first-generation student with an undiagnosed learning difference shapes how I approach this work: I don't see struggle within a rigid system as a limit on ability. I hold an Ed.D. from USC, and I've worked as a clinical counselor, school counselor, graduate faculty instructor, and student affairs administrator.

You're used to handling responsibility. You know life is what you make of it and you normally feel pretty optimistic and accomplished. But lately you find yourself off-balance. You may regret things you've said or done because there was no time to really sort out the best path. BEFORE you cut off important foundation pieces- your marriage, career, activities and people you've loved that feel like they no longer fit, see me and together let's make sure they're not part of your protective alarm system, begging for perspective and healthier personal balance.

I am a transmasc, queer therapist. My ongoing, personal journey of exploration definitely informs my work as a psychotherapist.

I’ve been working as a mental health professional for over two decades,I have been helping people navigate systems and life changes throughout my career. My goal is to ensure that everyone feels valued and supported in my practice – gay, lesbian, bi, queer, exploring, neurodivergent, polyamorous, kinky, ASE, intersex gender expansive, genderqueer, transgender, nonbinary, and those who are exploring – I want everyone to feel safe, seen and heard in my office.

The focus of my work over the past 25 years has been on fostering a welcoming and inclusive space for individuals across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum – especially those who are questioning or wanting to explore their queer and trans identities in a safe, inclusive space.

I provide individual therapy and work with older teens, young adults to elder audlts who are exploring their gender identities.

Hi, I'm Angela, a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
