Cassie is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina. She received a master’s of arts in Mental Health Counseling (Clinical Mental Health Track) in 2022 from the University of North Carolina Charlotte. During her time at UNC Charlotte, Cassie served as a graduate assistant for the university’s Athletic Academic Center; providing academic counseling and mental health counseling for collegiate student-athletes. Prior to pursuing her master’s degree, she received a bachelor’s of science in Sport Management from Canisius University in Buffalo, NY.
Cassie believes that there is not a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to an individual’s therapeutic journey. She believes that the body is one unit and that it is important to incorporate both top-down and bottom-up approaches in the therapy room. Your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health all have an impact on how a person lives their unique life. In order to meet this need, Cassie believes it is appropriate to utilize an eclectic, collaborative approach. If you work with Cassie, you may find yourself utilizing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Based Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy (including somatic experiencing techniques). By request, Cassie also provides talk therapy through a Christian Counseling lens, but is open to talking about all religions and spiritualities that are important to you.
Cassie works with individuals ranging from adolescence (14+) to adulthood, with a passion for working with young adults, college students, and women. She has experience treating adolescents, young adults, and adults with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relational concerns, life transitions, self-esteem, and attachment-based concerns.
Originally a Western New York native, Cassie has called Charlotte home since August of 2020. She is a proud Buffalo Bills fan and WNY food lover. In her time outside of the therapy room, Cassie enjoys exercising; reading; listening to music; and spending quality time with her friends, family, partner, and her cat; River.
