I'm not your blank-slate, nod-and-smile therapist. I’m here to help you dig deep, reconnect with your body, and create lasting change. My approach blends mind-body tools, somatic work, and nervous system education with straight-up truth and compassion. Clients often say I give them permission—to feel deeply, question old narratives, and explore what’s been off-limits in their healing. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, motherhood, trauma, or relationships, I create a space where you feel both held and challenged. Therapy with me is collaborative, embodied, and real.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Yoga Teacher with advanced training in somatic trauma work. I specialize in women’s issues, anxiety, trauma, and postpartum mental health, and I also supervise emerging therapists. My fully online practice serves clients across Florida, Utah, and Ohio.

Therapist

Growing up in Africa as part of a large family with limited resources, I learned the values of resilience, perseverance, and community. My journey was not without challenges. I struggled with confidence, questioned my worth, and often felt unseen and ignored . Those experiences shaped my understanding of how deeply people need to feel valued, understood, and supported. Today, in my work as a therapist, I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected. Every person carries a unique story and deserves the opportunity to have their story honored with dignity, curiosity, and compassion.

I approach to counseling and therapy is that we're all striving to connect with our whole or "essence" self that resides within us. I see myself as a facilitator of that change. I am a holistic and trauma-informed therapist with some twenty-five years' experience.

Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Ohio


I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over 5 years of experience treating patients in the outpatient and telehealth settings. I have experience treating patients throughout the lifespan but particularly enjoy treating women who often are too busy to take time to focus on their own mental health. I am very honest and direct with my patients and enjoy empowering them to help themselves. I am open-minded and love to listen to my patients tell me their story without fear of judgement. I have background in working both in community mental health and for a large privately owned mental health organization. I fully believe in the importance in taking a collaborative approach to treating my patients.

I am specializing in treating the mental health of adolescent females and women ages 16 and up. Focused areas of treatment include maternal mental health, post-partum mental health, ADHD treatment, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, grief and trauma.

I am also focusing on treating healthcare professionals, first responders and busy individuals who often cannot get to an appointment due to their schedule requires working Monday thru Friday until 5pm. I am offering non-traditional appointment times to accommodate those needing a non-traditional appointment time. Mental health is just as important as physical health and should be treated as such.

I'm Kassandra, a Licensed Independent Social Worker trained at Case Western Reserve

University. My clinical foundation was built doing crisis intervention and specialized

trauma work with survivors of sexual assault, child abuse, and sex trafficking before

I became independently licensed. That experience isn't a line on a resume. It's the reason

I can sit with the hardest things clients bring in without needing them to minimize,

manage, or explain themselves first. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults

individually and with couples. I'm explicitly LGBTQIA+-affirming and have experience

with transgender and identity-related concerns. I offer telehealth across Ohio and accept

insurance through Headway.
