Getting to know Will Abshier

Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed by the state of the world or unsure how to build the life you want? You're certainly not alone, and you do not have to figure it out all by yourself. I'm Will Abshier, LPC (they/them), a gay, nonbinary therapist specializing in LGBTQ+ mental health, identity exploration, mood disorders, and trauma. I draw from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches to meet each of my clients with creativity and care. Let’s talk and see if we’re a good fit for starting your therapy journey. I look forward to connecting with you! My approach My approach is solution-focused, evidence-based, and grounded in mindfulness. I guide you to identify your authentic values and use them to forge your path toward a greater quality of life. This most often includes semi-structured exploration to strengthen your awareness of what matters in your life. We then work together to identify how the challenges you naturally face can be met with improved coping skills. "Coping skills" might sound ominous, but in reality, this could mean taking intentional steps towards valued goals, approaching problems from a new angle, or even learning to sit compassionately with our discomfort. Whatever your needs are, I'm committed to humbly working with you to soothe the suffering and overwhelm that can be part of this human life. My focus My main focus is on LGBTQ+ mental health & wellness. In our community, no two people share the same lived experience. To affirm this diversity, I guide each individual to identify their unique values and use those to forge a path toward a fuller life. I help folks learn to both love the life they live & live the life they love. My 3 years of experience providing community care through the San Diego LGBT Center instilled in me a love for meeting the diverse needs of our community with competence.
