Dear Katrina,
The Brazos Valley Psychological Association would like to thank you and your members for presenting a most valuable workshop on “Gender Identity for Mental Health Professionals”. I thought you would like to see some of the feedback we received about your program:
“This was one of the best and most informative presentations I have attended. The presenters were honesty exceptional. Katrina was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, professional, and compassionate.I loved how she was inclusive of all viewpoints and perspectives. I also really appreciated the panelists – both were excellent. Andrew said so many things that resonated with me and made me feel validated personally. I really appreciated this. I loved the panel idea as well. It broke up the monotony of just a talk and gave a special insider view in to the topic that was unique and fresh.”

“This was an excellent presentation! It helped me think about how to connect with individuals from the
LGBTQIA+ community more effectively and emphatically.”
“I feel better equipped to handle different types of nuances around this topic.”
“The amount of time that was allowed for questions and clarifications was extremely helpful and made the training more personalized to its audience.”
“The knowledge base of the presenters was high. Their delivery of the information was clear and concise.”
“Speakers were articulate and well-versed in both the information presented and in the delivery of the
information to those seeking education on the topic.””

“The Brazos Valley Food Bank [BVFB] would like to express their sincere gratitude to The Pride Community Center for their contribution to our 2023 Agency Conference. Katrina shared her expertise and experience with openness to authentically engage in active discussion with our Agency Partner network on how we can all best serve our neighbors in need and foster community.

BVFB’s Agency Partner network collectively serves more than 30,000 neighbors each year. Because of The Pride Community Center’s (and Katrina’s) participation, we and our network were able to gain new perspective and better understand what barriers may exist for our LGBTQ neighbors in accessing food assistance, and how we as service providers can help to establish welcoming environments for all “

“The Children’s Museum of the Brazos Valley would like to sincerely thank The Pride Community Center for their kindness, professionalism, and willingness to share their knowledge and lived experiences with our staff during our staff wide training. Katrina and the PCC staff made staff feel welcome, and encouraged staff to share their questions, and participate in discussions. Everyone from PCC was well versed in best practices and current research which helped our staff to better understand not only why creating community and allyship is important for the LGBTQ community, but how to do so.”
