Cassandra Collins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hello! I'm Cassy.​​
​​​
Welcome to my practice and thanks for taking the time to check out my page! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years experience. I'm passionate about helping adults understand and resolve some of the painful, and often confusing feelings that are a result of Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). This is a trauma that often goes unrecognized. Some of the lasting effects include symptoms of anxiety, self-doubt, feelings of emptiness, and behaviors like people pleasing and seeking reassurance. These effects can impact your relationships and how you view yourself. Having someone that recognizes these as the lasting effects that come from CEN, can be a validating part of the therapeutic experience.

My Therapeutic Approach
My approach to therapy is both person-centered and strength-based. I believe you are the expert in your own life and you have the resources to heal. Together we will work towards identifying and applying those resources.
​
Considering therapy can feel vulnerable and scary. My priority is to provide a safe and affirming environment for you to be able to do the work necessary to be your authentic self.
Be Seen. Be Heard.
Not feeling seen or heard is a common lasting effect of CEN. You may feel conflicted between wanting to be seen and heard and not. It can be a struggle for individuals with CEN to ask for help as they are commonly "the helper".
Feeling safe and confident in the therapy process is important.
