Hi, I'm Cassy!​
​​​
Welcome and thanks for taking the time to check out my page!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years experience of working with individuals on achieving their mental health and relationship goals. I'm passionate about helping adults understand and resolve some of the painful, and often confusing feelings that are often a result of Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). This is often the trauma that goes unrecognized. Some of the lasting effects include symptoms of anxiety, self-doubt, feelings of emptiness, and behaviors like people pleasing and reassurance seeking. These effects can impact how you navigate your relationships and how you see yourself in the world. Having someone that understands the impacts of 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 in wanting others to actually "see" you. It can be especially difficult for individuals with CEN to ask for help as they can tend to be "the strong one" or the "helper" of the bunch.
Feeling safe and understood in the therapy process is important.
