Hello! Congratulations on taking your first steps to bettering your mental health. My name is Cassandra (Cassie). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (Michigan) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (IL) who has worked with a wide range of clients from young children to adults and families. I believe that each individual is unique and special; therefore, I prefer an eclectic and collaborative approach to counseling; developing the treatment plan to reflect your unique needs. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Trauma Focused - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Attachment Therapy and aspects of Theraplay. I often utilize strengths-based and person-centered methods. **Please note, I do not complete FMLA or Short-term Disability paperwork.**

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we will start with introductions and discussing policies and procedures. I will then perform a psychosocial interview which is to get to know you better and work on therapeutic rapport. This is a time to get to know one another better to determine therapeutic fit. My goal as a counselor is to provide you with a safe and compassionate space where you can find peace, healing, and hope. While this journey is yours, you do not have to face it alone.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with individuals of various ages, backgrounds, races, cultures, and sexual orientations I am a well rounded counselor. I provide a safe and compassionate place to be able to begin the healing process.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with teens and adults who are eager to overcome their mental health challenges. My clients are eager to improve their mental well-being and utilize the skills/tools provided.

Cassie is a very relaxing, chill, authentic presence. She will make you feel very comfortable easing into a session, and she's a great listener. At the same time, she will speak up about important notes to make you feel challenged and inspire you to recognize patterns so you feel empowered to discover ways to do better for yourself, beyond the initial validation, so you can actually feel like the main character in your story. She is an incredible guide.

Just from one session, Cassie has a very kind and safe aura that my nerves from the beginning washed away and feel very confident in her ability to help me accomplish my healing goals.
