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.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

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.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

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.
