Katie Leikam, MBA, LCSW, LISW-CP | Psychotherapist & Certified Gender Specialist

Are you tired of feeling misunderstood, masking who you are, or struggling to get through each day? Whether you're exploring your gender identity, navigating ADHD or autism, living with chronic illness, or trying to heal from difficult experiences, you deserve a therapist who understands that life isn't always simple.

I'm Katie Leikam, a WPATH GEI SOC8 Certified Gender Specialist, licensed clinical social worker, author, and educator with over 12 years of clinical experience. I've worked with more than 1,500 transgender and gender-diverse clients, and I specialize in helping people navigate challenges that are often overlooked or misunderstood.

My specialties include:

    •    Gender Identity & Exploration: Affirming therapy for transgender, nonbinary, and gender-questioning individuals, including support with coming out, relationships, family concerns, and navigating gender identity in the workplace.

    •    Autism & ADHD: Supporting neurodivergent individuals experiencing masking, executive functioning challenges, rejection sensitivity, burnout, and difficulties feeling understood.

    •    Chronic Pain & Chronic Illness: Helping clients navigate the emotional impact of living with chronic health conditions, medical trauma, healthcare dismissal, and the exhaustion of managing daily life.

    •    Religious & Family Trauma: Processing harmful religious experiences, family rejection, complicated relationships, and questions about faith, spirituality, and personal identity.

    •    Gender-Affirming Surgery Assessments & Letters:Providing knowledgeable, compassionate assessments and documentation for gender-affirming procedures, typically completed in one appointment.

You don't have to be transgender to work with me. Many of my clients come to therapy because they're exhausted from managing chronic illness, navigating neurodivergence, or feeling like nobody truly understands their experiences.

As a therapist who also has lived experience with disability, chronic illness, and ADHD, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my work. My approach is conversational, compassionate, direct, and occasionally includes a little humor.

I offer virtual therapy for clients in Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida. I work with adolescents and adults and offer free, brief phone consultations to help determine whether we're a good fit.

I am an out-of-network provider and can provide superbills for potential insurance reimbursement.
