Casey Weitzman, MFT

Smart. Articulate. Perceptive. Patient. Caring. Kind. A blessing. My family has had the good fortune to work with Casey for over a year and the benefits have been extraordinary. We communicate on a different level and have grown closer with Casey’s help on key issues. I cannot recommend anyone more highly. I just wish we had started the journey together sooner.

I have been seeing Casey for 2+ years and I’m quite grateful for her guidance, compassion, and empathy, among many other things. Being transgender myself, I looked for a therapist who actually knew what they were doing and I stumbled upon Casey Weitzman, MFT. The expertise and experience that she has were the biggest factors in determining whether I would see her or not. I did not regret my decision; her rates may be moderately steep, but I believe it to be well worth the investment. In all honesty, I doubt I would be alive today if it weren’t for her. She is calm and assertive and can be, at times, quite difficult to deal with. Though, again, if one is to see a therapist, it’s going to be rather difficult, regardless of the therapist (unless they have no idea what they’re doing). I cannot thank her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help/​guidance.
It’s known that some trans* individuals forego therapy entirely, just to get the hormones and, ultimately, a letter of recommendation for surgery. A person could simply go to a blathering idiot who knows nothing of trans*-related issues and get what they’ve been seeking their whole life (or is it really? Did you solve everything?). I think it’s sad and of all the things to complain about — the price of a letter? It’s the individuals life and they can do what they want with it. It is also really pathetic to complain about someone and their personality without getting to know them at all.

I’ve seen Casey Weitzman since 2007. Recommended by a friend. She was very good initially at making me feel comfortable and able to talk. As a current patient I’ve found her to be very effective in dealing with gender issues, especially for those of us unable to transition.
In my experience she has proceeded very slowly and carefully, adhering closely to the WPATH Standards of Care guidelines. Her deliberate and cautious approach was appreciated, as the consequences of a misdiagnosis can be severe. We’ve all heard horror stories from other trans people where things have gone VERY wrong.
She has helped me through traumatic events such as the near death of my partner as a matter of course, blown appointments and all. She has guided me and made me face myself and deal with my issues. She’s not the cheapest therapist, but has been very effective.
She also gives up her personal time to run a (more or less) free transgender support group every month, which is a great place to meet and discuss all the problems, hopes and fears we have. The worst problem with being trans imho is the feeling of being alone.
Being English, may I just state that the US has the stupidest health care system in the world. The other 95% of us regard it with a mixture of mirth and horror.
Care in Europe is FREE, superior, and universally available. Yours should be too.

Casey Weitzman is an amazing therapist. She is the best in her field. She is compassionate and exceptional compared to many other therapists that I have had.. .
I will always be grateful

I was helped a great deal by Casey Weitzman in my post operative transgender years. She was extremely skilled and knowledgable and showed great sensitivity in guiding me in the self discovery process following my divorce and transition. It was a slow and steady process that allowed me to achieve happiness and find a new life partner. I still see her from time to time as I continue my journey. She also leads a terriffic transgender group.

I am a transguy and Casey was my therapist as I started my transition about two years ago. I don’t normally write Unilocal reviews, positive or negative, but Casey’s therapeutic guidance and insight was exceptional. I am shocked at some of the other Unilocal reviews. My experience tells a different story and I would encourage any of my trans friends in the Los Angeles area to work with Casey.
I cannot thank Casey enough for what she did for me and everything she does for the trans community. For good or for bad, I had seen a lot of mental health specialists over the years and Casey stood out, as far and away, the best I have ever worked with. More then just a SRS letter, she has helped me be a better human being. I am confident that I received thoughtful care during an emotionally turbulent and sometimes frightening time in my life.

I’ve known Casey for 12 years. She was my therapist as I was going through transition. I’ve always felt that she had my best interest a heart. I run a group for trans people in Orange County. I have been recommending Casey to my members, and I wholeheartedly, without any reservations whatsoever, recommend her to any trans person looking for a therapist.

Stay far far away if you are transgendered. This person is after your money…
She knew I needed my «permission slip» letter, and knew I was concerned about costs. So, we worked out the pricing on sessions and I went down there… only for her to spring on me that the letter itself would be 250 dollars per hour to write (and it might take her 1 or 2 hours).
She also seems to be a very angry and defensive person… and, actually, it kind of seemed like she was getting off on a power trip.
So, just a word of warning… RUN.
