The therapeutic relationship provides a safe and supportive environment for you, your child, or family to change what's not working.
What brings you to my office? The answers to this question are as varied as are the people who seek counseling with me. You may have a problem or disappointment with your health, self-esteem/worth, relationships, school, work, mood, or boundaries. People reach out to me when, despite being very capable, they have not been able to get their lives on the course that they desire. I believe that the changes and healing you want to accomplish can be brought about by the combination of my skills, your knowledge of yourself, and the strong working relationship that we will establish together.

My name is Kassie J. Weiland, I view therapy as a dynamic and evolving relationship. During my 30+ years working with youth and families, I’ve found my approach should be as unique as you are.

I specialize in treating children, adolescents and adults with anxiety, stress, anger, depression, family conflict, relationship issues, personal growth and spiritual issues, self-esteem, career concerns, and issues of grief and loss.
I believe that when people seek counseling it is because they want to make a change in their lives, improve a life situation, make a decision, solve a problem or have greater understanding and insight to their lives. Counseling is a trusting partnership between client and counselor. A process of looking at and integrating thoughts, feelings and actions in a safe environment. It is not about telling you how or when to change, but rather finding what works best for you. Effective counseling requires a commitment of time, energy, and active participation by both client and counselor.

As a "theracoach" I am passionate about empowering individuals to overcome self-criticism, doubt, sadness, anxiety, overwhelm, and relationship struggles.
I believe that every human being truly has their own answers within themselves. My job is to come alongside you and help you discover yours. The pain of the past forms a belief about our identity for today. It is this skewed perception of self that actually keeps us at odds with our choices about our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Using different techniques, such as CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, I help you process emotions, and identify limiting beliefs that have created roadblocks in your life. We work together to heal from pain, harness the power of true self-acceptance, and create peace and confidence.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
