I've been a psychologist for over 10 years. I have practiced in different places across, the U.S., including Seattle, Hawai'i, and now Wilmington the past few years. I truly enjoy what I do. I believe working on your mental health makes life more satisfying, myself included. I work with adults from a variety of backgrounds, Common reasons people see me include: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, men's issues, and substance use.

As a clinician, the most important thing I can give to my clients is trust. Trust that I can hold space for them while they do their work. Trust that I have taken care of myself so that they do not feel the need to take care of me during their healing process. Trust that I have done the work necessary to provide them with best practice, therapy techniques, models, and delivery of care.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over five years of experience. I truly enjoy working with children, teens, and young adults.

Life can be overwhelming at times, and my goal is to support you in navigating its challenges with confidence and clarity. I would love to walk alongside you in that process.

Do you ever feel like you’re going through the motions or making choices that don’t quite reflect who you want to be? Maybe you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, or disconnected from the people and parts of life that matter most.

Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and create meaningful change. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way, build practical coping strategies, and strengthen the tools you already have. My approach is collaborative, grounded, and supportive, with a focus on making therapy both emotionally safe and practically useful in daily life.

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.

If you're suffering from anxiety and burnout, I'm here for you. So many times when you're experiencing burnout you forget about the importance of putting yourself first. In sessions, my goal is to help you find that voice again and confidence to serve yourself first before anybody else.

I currently accept individual adult clients only through Headway. I do not provide couples or family therapy through this platform at this time.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and LGBTQ+ clients seeking deeper self-understanding, emotional healing, and more connected relationships. My approach is warm, relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that healing happens through safety, honesty, and meaningful connection.

I specialize in relationship therapy, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, attachment wounds, complex trauma, and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. I also support clients navigating life transitions, grief, shame, self-worth, communication challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves and others.

My work draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems, somatic awareness, humanistic and existential therapy, and trauma-informed care. I help clients slow down, listen inward, understand their patterns, and develop more compassionate and empowered ways of relating.

As a queer-affirming therapist, I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ clients and relationships. I strive to create a space where clients can bring their full selves—without judgment—and explore healing in a way that honors their identities, histories, relationships, spirituality, and lived experience.

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.

Welcome! As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have worked with adults in a multitude of settings including residential, community, outpatient, and emergency departments. I have extensive experience working with individuals experiencing challenges around anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions. I have special interest in women's mental health. I bring transparency, authenticity, and creative problem solving to the therapeutic relationship.

I have lived in Hawaii for 12 years now and am originally from New York State. My dad lived on Kauai my whole life so my connections and roots are here. In my personal time, I love to take care of animals, eat healthy, and enjoy the island. I believe that mental health is a whole body and system approach. I have worked with children and adolescents my entire career. My presence has been strong in the school system so I know how to navigate that culture and those rules as well.
