Aloha, I’m Cassandra or Cassie for short. My goal is to help you to grow into your whole self and create a space where you can feel heard and validated.

Welina, to my practice, To Healing With Joy Always L.L.C. (THWJALLC) THWJA L.L.C. is operated by one Licensed Clinical Social Worker who finds added value in human connection during challenging times in life that a therapeutic lens can add to the support of each client.

Bruised Not Broken Therapy was born out of the lack of Afrocentric based psychotherapy that allowed people of color to embrace their journey of life through the context of color. HIV, substance abuse, mental health and the denial of the experience of being a person of color continues to plague communities of color, as we still have yet to talk about these experiences.

Born and raised in Hawai`i I carry a lens that acknowledges the challenges we face, often specific to holding and honoring our place here in Hawai`i. As a kanaka, wahine, and makua I embrace the various roles we all play in our lives. Many of us carry the weight of our `ohana and are seeking support from someone "who gets it." With 17 years counseling experience here in Hawai`i and on the continent, I have worked across our communities in non-profit, government/judicial, and education (both DOE and university level). I have supported a variety of age groups including teens, adults, and our kupuna. I carry deep gratitude and aloha for our community people who make up our patchwork quilt here in Hawai`i.

I'm someone who values change, growth, and new experiences, which is what brought me from Connecticut to Hawaii several years ago. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Connecticut (UCONN) in 2016, building upon a Bachelor of Science in Social Work with a Psychology minor. My career has included working at Yale New Haven Hospital in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) and with individuals living with severe mental illness across geriatric, adolescent, and adult psychiatric units. I have also provided hospice support for individuals and families navigating palliative care and end-of-life concerns. Currently, I work as an outpatient Clinician supporting mental health for Veterans.

I became a therapist because I have a genuine desire to help people. I have appreciated having the opportunity to help individuals move toward relief, gain clarity, recognize their strengths and navigate life transitions with greater confidence and support.

I have worked in the mental health field for over 15 years and have been a licensed mental health counselor and Doctor of Clinical Psychology for 12 years. Additionally, I have collaborated with clients of all ages, cultures, Nationalities and from all social classes dealing with a wide range of issues. My experience is vast as I have worked with the following: neuro-psychiatric, suicidal ideation/attempts, LGBTQIA, PTSD, anger management, grief/loss, trauma, abuse, relationship issues, school counseling, juvenile justice, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, personality disorders, domestic violence, crisis intervention, codependency, and group/family/individual therapy.

My therapy style is centered on warmth, empathy, and inclusivity. Drawing from my extensive experience working with diverse populations, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where everyone feels heard, valued, and understood. Everyone brings unique experiences, and my goal is to ensure that our work together honors your cultural, spiritual, and personal life story.

Are you tired of feeling anxious, unseen, or not quite enough? Do certain relationships in your life feel harder than they should — with a boss, a friend, a parent, a partner? So many of us find ourselves replaying the same painful patterns, wondering why connection feels so complicated, when the real story is much older than the relationship we're in now.

I'm Dr. Michelle Morrell, a clinical psychologist (Psy.D. from Adler University, with a pre-doctoral internship at the Hawai'i Psychological Internship Consortium, a post-doctoral fellowship at Hawai'i's Department of Health, and training through Rush Medical's NeuroBehavioral Center and the Family Institute at Northwestern University). I work exclusively with women, and I've built my practice around a simple belief: the patterns that shape our hardest relationships — whether with a partner, a parent, a friend, or a boss — usually started somewhere much earlier than the relationship in front of us. Helping women trace those patterns back and build something different is the work I care about most — healing the wound creating the pain, rather than simply bandaging the symptoms it causes.
