I specialize in helping individuals heal from childhood and family trauma, overcome relationship challenges, and develop effective skills to cope with anxiety, stress, and depression. In my practice, I take a relational, trauma-informed approach, drawing on attachment theory and modern neuroscience to create a safe space where clients can show up as their authentic selves and truly feel understood and accepted. Within the safety of a trusting therapeutic relationship, I work collaboratively with clients to help them gain deeper insight into their behaviors and relationship patterns, manage strong emotions, reprocess past trauma, improve communication skills, and establish healthy boundaries. Through this process, clients can expect to build self-compassion, restore their ability to trust, and cultivate a sense of calm and security within themselves and their relationships.
In our work together, you can expect a relaxed and empathetic environment. During our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other, discuss what brings you to therapy, and clarify what you hope to achieve. The initial appointment is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of my style as a therapist and determine whether it feels like the right fit. While it’s normal to feel a little nervous at first, my goal is for you to leave our first meeting feeling hopeful about the process ahead.
I am intentional about showing up as my true self, bringing a warm and authentic presence to the therapy room. I understand the courage it takes to confront deep wounds, and that compassion shapes how I approach therapy. I’m here to remind you that while the journey may be challenging, healing is not only possible, it is within your reach.
I work well with clients who are curious about themselves and their relationships, as well as those who identify as empaths, challenge social norms, and strive to live authentically. I’m particularly passionate about supporting clients who struggle with patterns of people-pleasing, codependency, or insecure attachment and wish to address these areas in therapy. Many of the individuals I work with care deeply about others and come to therapy seeking support around challenges that impact their most important relationships. I also enjoy working with diverse populations, especially members of the LGBTQIA+ community and those in non-traditional relationship structures.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy that helps people recognize and change negative thought patterns. Stressful life events and family of origin dynamics can shape our brains to think negatively. I use CBT techniques to help clients recognize and challenge limiting beliefs, replacing them with healthier, more realistic thoughts. This process promotes emotional resilience and empowers clients to approach life with a more balanced perspective.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an effective treatment for healing emotional distress caused by traumatic experiences. I completed EMDR training through the EMDR Institute and have seen successful outcomes with clients using EMDR via telehealth.
Polyvagal theory helps us understand how our nervous system responds to stress and trauma, and how these reactions influence our emotions and behaviors. In therapy, I guide clients to better understand their nervous system, learn practical tools to regulate it, and shift out of survival states (like fight, flight, or freeze) so they can feel safer and more grounded in their bodies.
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how our early relationships shape our perceptions and the way we relate to others in adulthood. If we form an insecure attachment style, we may develop unhelpful ways of viewing the world, others, and ourselves. The goal is to help individuals develop more secure attachments and resolve patterns of behavior rooted in attachment-related trauma or unmet emotional needs, such as clinginess, jealousy, trust issues, or intimacy avoidance. I use psychoeducation to help clients understand attachment theory, combined with techniques like parts work and inner child work, to guide them in identifying unmet attachment needs and developing the resources to meet those needs in the present day.

I've had such a positive experience with my therapist. From the very beginning, she made me feel safe, supported, and genuinely comfortable being myself. It's clear that she is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also deeply present and intentional in the way she listens. I always feel heard and understood, which has made a huge difference in my healing journey. I truly appreciate the space she creates. It's one where growth feels possible and judgment has no place

She fits my needs, I’m surprised I got her on the first try. At first interaction, she’s professional, honest, and engaging. I appreciate that due to my personal experiences with other mental health professionals. I look forward to working with her further!

I really like Casey Craig. She provides that safe space where I can share my secret thoughts without me worrying about shame, guilt, or someone responding in the wrong way. She is honest, and thoughtful. She has a soft, supportive approach and is very intelligent. I would recommend her to anyone.
