If you or your relationship feels stuck and need help breaking harmful, recursive patterns (usually generational) to feel loving, prosperous, and healthy, reach out. Because once you grasp that your personal beliefs (again, often generational) create your emotions and that those emotions result in your behaviors, you can transform yourself and your relationships. I will help you replace outdated negative beliefs with healthy new ones. You will learn how to communicate and express emotions effectively. You will learn how to navigate life by becoming aware that you are playing the game of life; you just need to understand the rules.

Life’s battles are not meant to be fought on your own. Anxiety, depression, mood swings, daily stress, relationship issues, loss, transitions..things aren’t always easy, and there is no shame in reaching out for help! I believe everyone can benefit from therapy, having a supportive environment during these hard times can make a world of difference. Leave therapy sessions feeling lighter, more relaxed, and confident with the tools we will build and coping skills you will learn.

I'm so glad you're here! It takes courage to ask for help and share your struggles. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the stress in your life, have difficulty managing your emotions, are struggling with stress-related health problems, or notice that you blame yourself for your difficulties, I can help. Together, we will decide on a path to create and realize an increased sense of confidence and well-being in your life. Many times, our struggles today result from negative experiences in our past. Much of my training has been focused on abuse, and its effects on our bodies, minds, and emotions.

Hi, my name is Cassie and I am happy you’re here. I am a clinical social worker for those who are parents or wanting to become parents, and other adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and stressors from disruptions in relationships. Parenthood can feel unpredictable, both challenging and rewarding. Being a parent can cause a whirlwind of emotions and at times leaves us feeling alone or unsure. Whether your stress stems from your own childhood coming back to you, relationships, your child’s development, or the endless 'hats' a parent must wear, you do not have to be alone. I am here for you.

I am a registered nurse and licensed professional counselor. I am multi-dimensional in the services I provide. I see children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. I started my career working with and teaching children who were not psychologically ready to move from kindergarten to first grade. My love for helping people inspired me to go back to school and pursue a nursing degree. After moving to Connecticut, I worked as a psych nurse at Waterbury Hospital at Merriman Hall for 6 years. This was a locked unit and it was here that I learned all the family therapy methodology.

I specialize in working with all things "fear". Fear is one of our most innate emotions, and the basis of many challenges like OCD, anxiety, phobias, and more. Though fear does serve an important purpose, for some people it can feel out of control; like it impacts every choice and thought that you have. If fear is something that is overwhelming for you, my goal is to help you take control back and better understand fear's role and purpose for you, so you can have a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

If your relationships are suffering and you find yourself irritable, withdrawn, or increasingly sad or numb, you’re not alone. Past challenging or traumatic experiences might still be impacting you today. You might also notice these signs in your child and want to support them through difficult friendships, intense emotions, and stressful life changes.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
