Greetings. I am Cassandra, Licensed and Board Certified Neuropsychotherapist. I am pleased to have the opportunity to serve you as your Trusted Professional Therapist. I completed my undergraduate education at Prairie View A and M University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing in 1988. I completed my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in 2015 from Liberty University. I have more than three decades of comprehensive Healthcare experience. As a Registered Nurse and a Licensed Professional Therapist, I desire to use my comprehensive Healthcare background to provide a unique and beneficial counseling experience for my clients. My primary Therapeutic model is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness therapy, and Spirituality concepts per client request. Other proven therapeutic modalities may be integrated per specific client request. I approach my clients with dignity, compassion, and respect and am accepting of them wherever they are in their cycle of life. It would be my honor to serve as your Therapist and to assist you to identify and address the challenges you may be facing in life. I encourage you to allow me to assist you on your healing journey. I would be happy to schedule an appointment for a session today, as well as offer you a 15 minute free consultation per client request. I accept insurance, EAP, and Cash-pay clients.

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

In our initial session, I will seek to understand why you are seeking therapy at this time. We will have a brief introduction where I will share information and reviews related to my practice and background. We will look at the basic dynamics of the therapeutic process and what a typical session may consist of. We will address therapy guidelines, answer questions, and the process of filing a compliant or having any concerns addressed. Though this is not an emergency platform, we will address emergency protocols should those arise. And any other concerns that may arise as we engage with one another and any unique circumstances.

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

I possess a comprehensive background in healthcare and mental health experiences that contribute to my unique approach to the therapeutic experience. This has greatly contributed to my client's success in their reaching their goals. I am intentional and skilled in not only providing a unique approach to therapy, but also educating my clients in such a way that they understand why things are presented as they are related to emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
