Many people walk around for years needing help for their anxiety and depression but avoid therapy because they think they "should" be able to manage it on their own. No one should have to suffer alone. The fact is, we are human and we all need help from time to time. With compassion, warmth and support, I will walk with you through your struggles and help you untangle the mess that is sometimes life. You are not broken and you are capable of change.

I can help break that cycle and empower you to develop a new path forward to achieve what you have not wanted to face alone.

Some of the modalities I use are EMDR, CBT, Motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques as well as a combination of these. I meet people where they are, maybe having to learn how they are even feeling let alone how to cope with that feeling. Maybe we have a tool, but if no one ever took the time to teach us, then what good is that tool?

It requires a commitment to yourself and serves as an investment. The return on that investment can be achieving goals, growth, and emotional satisfaction. There are many reasons someone may seek out a therapist, regardless of those reasons my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we can build a trusting therapeutic relationship that allows for healing and growth.

My name is Cassandra (or Cassie) DeHaney-Brown, and here is a bit about me. I am 32 years old and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. I received my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Pentecostal Theological Seminary and my BA in Sociology from Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee. I am originally from Canada but currently reside in the Brunswick, Georgia, area.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. I graduated from Mercer University with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. After 5+ years of working in community mental health both at the inpatient and outpatient levels, I have gained invaluable experience working with individuals from multicultural backgrounds and with various severe mental health diagnoses. My clients can see that I am passionate about assisting them in healing their wounds and creating their next chapters in life. Change and growth don’t have to feel scary, because I assist my clients in utilizing their strengths to take back their power! My experience includes treating individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, grief, postpartum, racial issues, trauma, life transitions, relationship conflict, substance abuse, and more. I am currently using EMDR in my practice while I am under consultation for EMDR basic training.

I’ve enjoyed working with clients who are looking for change in their lives and are willing to take an honest look at patterns and behaviors that have historically led to conflict or unhappiness. The amazing aspect of working with these clients is that they often already know what needs to be done. Having a nonjudgmental space to explore behavior patterns that oppose what they say they want to accomplish, helps to bring these behaviors into the light and enable self-identified changes needed for success. As a counselor, I feel it is my job to act as a mirror so that clients can see themselves more clearly, and not to give advice, that, on some level, they already know needs to happen. My goal is to be the client's most avid cheerleader.

Life presents us with many challenges, and sometimes we may feel like we're moving backward instead of forward. It's at these moments that we define our next steps. Whether you're navigating parenting, processing trauma, or grappling with difficult questions, a holistic approach can support you internally and externally, nurturing your mind, body, and spirit. Remember, well-being is true wealth, and I encourage anyone seeking therapy to be motivated and ready to actively participate in their healing. "Healing is dependent upon the person who seeks it." -Kellie Vazquez
