I'm Kassandra, founder and owner of Luna Licensed Mental Health Counseling. Our mission is to help clients bridge the gap between understanding themselves and actually feeling different. Like many of my clients, I've navigated anxiety, life transitions, and moments of losing touch with my own confidence, and I'm confident we can help you move toward finally feeling like YOU. Sometimes that means shedding old skin and moving through the growing pains that come with it. Like the moon, every phase is real, active, and necessary. At Luna, we help you learn to integrate them all in a way that promotes real healing.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, substance use, or simply feeling like you no longer have control over your life. You may know that you want things to change but feel unsure about where to begin. That is where therapy can help. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel comfortable being honest about what you are experiencing without fear of judgment. My personality is warm, compassionate, understanding, and straightforward. I will meet you where you are while also encouraging you to look more closely at the thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that may be keeping you from moving forward. I am here to support you, but I also want to help you recognize your own strength and ability to create change in your life. I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I also use different therapeutic approaches based on who you are, what you have experienced, and what you need from therapy. I understand that therapy is not one size fits all, so our work together will be tailored to your individual needs, culture, identity, strengths, and goals. Both my personal and professional experiences have taught me that healing is not always easy or straightforward. It takes honesty, patience, self compassion, and a willingness to do the work. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You simply need to be willing to begin. Together, we will identify what may be keeping you stuck, develop healthier ways to manage life’s challenges, and work toward the life you truly want. We will work together to help you become more intentional with your life and mindful with your healing.

For the past 17 years, I have had the privilege of helping people navigate the complicated, messy, and often deeply meaningful work of understanding themselves. I believe therapy can be a place to slow down-to step outside of the noise and begin taking a more examined look at your life, your patterns, your relationships and the choices you've been making. My approach is grounded in the belief that our minds and nervous system are constantly trying to protect us. Many of the patterns that can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected or overwhelmed once served an important purpose. I am interested in helping you understand why these patterns developed, what they may be trying to communicate and whether they still serve you in the life you're living now. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness practices. I don't believe there is one right way to do therapy, so our work will be collaborative and tailored to you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience supporting individuals across the lifespan, including adolescents, adults, couples, families, and older adults. I specialize in helping clients who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and life transitions, and who are seeking both relief and deeper understanding of themselves. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to, while also thoughtful and direct when helping them identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, with a strong focus on helping clients feel emotionally safe while also gently encouraging insight, reflection, and meaningful change. In my work, I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, trauma-informed care, and psychodynamic principles. This allows me to support both present-day symptom relief and deeper exploration of long-standing emotional and relational patterns. My clinical background includes many years of work in community mental health in New York City, where I provided care to diverse and underserved populations. I also have experience in inpatient psychiatric settings supporting individuals during acute crises, as well as involvement in psychiatric research, which strengthened my foundation in evidence-based and clinically grounded care. At the core of my work is the belief that people are not defined by their symptoms or their past experiences. Instead, therapy is a space to better understand yourself, shift long-standing patterns, and build a more grounded, connected and intentional life.

It may be quiet, messy, unexpected, or long overdue—but it can also be the beginning of something different.

I seek to empower all my clients, so they can implement positive and healthy change. For the past four years, I've worked as a psychiatric social worker at a mental health clinic. During this time, I've work with a wide range of populations addressing several different concerns. Some of these concerns addressing symptom management (wide range of diagnoses), implementation of healthy coping, relationship dynamics, finding life balance, and communication skills. My social work values are integrated into every session, which will create a safe, open, nonjudgemental environment for each client. I believe deeply that mindfulness practice open our hearts, minds, and bodies and that use of cognitive behavioral techniques will build a clear understanding of who we are inside and out.

Hi, I’m Amanda, a licensed clinical social worker. I work with children, teens, and young adults who may look like they’re doing okay on the outside but are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, emotional, stuck, or unsure of themselves underneath it all. Whether your child is having bigger emotions lately, struggling with confidence, navigating friendships, feeling pressure at school, or just not seeming like themselves, therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and build tools that actually fit their life. My goal is to create a space that feels comfortable, genuine, and supportive—not intimidating—where clients can show up as themselves while learning ways to manage emotions, build confidence, improve relationships, and feel more like themselves again. I also work alongside caregivers because meaningful change happens both in and outside of sessions.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel like a real conversation—not a place where you’re judged or expected to have all the answers. I work with teens, adults, and parents who may be dealing with anxiety, ADHD, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck and overwhelmed. My style is warm, honest, and straightforward. I’ll listen, help you make sense of what’s going on, and give you practical tools to actually move forward. Sometimes you need validation, sometimes you need a different perspective, and sometimes you just need someone to help you untangle the 37 tabs open in your brain. We’ll figure it out together.
