Grief counselors and therapists in Cedar Hill, TX

Hi, my name is Cassie Carrasco and I am licensed professional counselor. I specialize in working with adults with trauma. I use evidence-based therapies and somatic experiencing to help heal and reconnect with themselves.

Hi, I’m Joe Corley, a Licensed Therapist and Mental Wellness Consultant with over 20 years of experience in education and mental health. I hold master's degrees in both Education and Counseling, and my passion lies in helping individuals, especially Black men and women, heal from past traumas and step into their most authentic selves. My practice focuses on trauma-informed therapy, relationship challenges, emotional resilience, and breaking generational cycles. Whether you're navigating personal struggles, relationship conflicts, or seeking deeper self-awareness, I provide a safe and supportive space to help you grow. Let’s do the work together.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment while also challenging patterns that may no longer serve you. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, attachment wounds, difficulty setting boundaries, and the lasting impact of childhood experiences. Together, we'll explore how these patterns developed, strengthen your self-understanding, and build practical skills that support meaningful, lasting change.

I earned my Master's degree in Counseling, am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and Certified EMDR Therapist. I use evidence-based approaches, like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), along with other therapeutic interventions tailored to each client's unique needs. My work is informed by attachment theory and trauma-trained principles. I also provide therapy in both English and Spanish.

Life can get heavy—whether you’re juggling family dynamics, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or just trying to stay afloat. Maybe you’ve always been the dependable one, the person everyone else leans on, but you’re starting to realize it’s time to focus on yourself. You want less tension, more connection, and practical tools that actually make a difference. You’re not after a quick fix—you just want someone real to help you sort things out and walk with you through the hard parts.

I welcome clients to share their concerns and experiences in a setting where they can be heard and validated. Life can be hard, but relief and finding a place of peace is possible. Clients should contact me directly to schedule their sessions.

I received my Ph.D. from UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, a clinically focused school with significant access to psychological and medical training. I transitioned to private practice in 2018 in order to allow for deeper work with clients. I enjoy working with clients on a variety of issues, but identity, meaning-making, and life transitions are of particular interest.
