Hi, my name is Cassie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. I have experience working with a diverse population of clients of all age groups. I use an integrated theoretical approach to counseling and tailor the treatment to the client’s individual needs. I strongly believe in meeting the client where they are at and helping them get to where they want to be. I also believe that one of the most important things that you can do in life is invest in yourself to heal all parts that need healed and work on becoming your best self. I am familiar with energy healing, and I am a certified Reiki Master Practitioner. I am very passionate about helping my clients heal and become their best selves, helping them achieve their desired goals, and helping them feel more satisfied overall with their lives. Healing starts here: therapy for a better you.

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

After a session, clients can expect to feel a sense of relief and a renewed sense of hope. I create a warm and welcoming environment where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions, gain insight into their behavior patterns, and develop new coping/life skills. My counseling approach is centered on creating a collaborative and compassionate space for my clients. I listen attentively to their concerns, working alongside them to identify practical solutions that can improve their mental health and overall wellbeing.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I utilize an integrated approach that draws upon a variety of evidence-based therapies and interventions to provide my clients with the best possible support. My approach incorporates several modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, among others. I believe that each client is unique and requires an individualized approach that caters to their specific needs. Therefore, I adapt my therapeutic style and techniques to suit the client's goals, preferences, and personality. Through personalized guidance and support, I aim to empower my clients with new tools that help them better navigate the unpredictability of life and achieve their desired goals.

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

I am committed to creating a therapeutic space that is characterized by active listening, collaboration, strength building, and empathy. By collaborating with clients and employing a supportive, caring, and understanding approach, in addition to identifying their strengths, areas of growth, and the obstacles that are preventing them from achieving their goals, I am able to facilitate the process of goal attainment and problem-solving. I am able to appreciate the complex nature of my clients' experiences and provide tailored interventions that are uniquely suited to their needs. My ultimate goal is to empower my clients to achieve their desired outcomes, promote their overall mental health and wellbeing, and help them to improve their lives.
