More about Cassandra
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
Throughout my experience as a therapist, I have been able to develop a diverse and holistic approach to treatment by getting to know all aspects of my client’s life. I am a straight-forward therapist, while still respecting and understanding where my client is in the present moment and letting them take the lead. My ability to incorporate different treatment approaches allows me to individualize treatment for each client to meet their needs. I pride myself on providing a safe and empathic space for my clients to engage in self-discovery. I have years of experience varying from community, outpatient, inpatient, and group/private practice.
