ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on helping individuals develop psychological flexibility and live a meaningful life. It combines elements of mindfulness, acceptance, and behavior change strategies. ACT encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate or control them. It also helps them identify their values and commit to actions that align with those values. The goal of ACT is to increase psychological resilience and improve overall well-being by promoting acceptance, mindfulness, and effective action.
In therapy, therapists use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.
Therapists use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help individuals who struggle with emotional regulation, impulsive behavior, and difficulty in interpersonal relationships.
EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) is a type of couples therapy that focuses on the emotional bond between partners. It aims to help couples better understand and regulate their emotions, enhance their communication, and strengthen their attachment and intimacy.
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that utilizes hypnosis to facilitate psychological change and promote well-being. The hypnotherapist establishes a trusting and collaborative relationship with the client, creating a safe space for exploration and therapeutic work.

I've had a handful of sessions with Cassandra now and it's been the best experience I've had with a mental health care provider after some really negative experiences. Her profile sounded exactly what I was looking for and I was absolutely right! I'm really glad I took the chance on her. She's very authentic and it's clear she really does care for her patients from more than just a providers standpoint. I feel she is very invested in me and I'm excited to continue to see where I grow with her

If you are someone like me who depends on the reviews in order to figure out if something is worth it or not, you’re in the right place! CK was so insightful and such a breath of fresh air. She helped me refine myself & remember, who I am. She was so warm to talk to and I love the different hair colors. If you are someone who is struggling with trauma, you’ll want to have her in your corner! I honestly need more space to explain to you everything she will help you get through! Glad I found her!
