You may feel overwhelmed right now, not sure where to turn or what to do next. We are all adjusting to a rapidly changing world and it is hard to make sense of it all. Going through life transitions can bring many different emotions and it can be difficult to make space for all of them. We can talk about this together, finding a way forward in uncertain times. Perhaps you've tried different modalities of treatment and are curious about psychedelic-assisted therapy. As an apprentice with the Institute for Integrative Therapies (IIT), I can help guide you through ketamine-assisted therapy to allow new mental pathways to emerge.

You have managed to convince others that you are okay, but you can’t fool yourself. You have felt so overwhelmed for so long you don’t remember what it is like to feel at peace. Your relationships are unsatisfying (or nonexistent), your schedule is out of control, and you aren't even sure what it would look like for you to feel happy with your life. You keep trying to develop healthy habits but you always seem to fall back into the same patterns. At this point, it’s tempting to just accept that your symptoms will never improve. Perhaps you've even tried therapy before but it wasn't as helpful as you had hoped it would be...

Are you someone who loves to think things through? You want to know the how and why behind how things work? Then you have arrived at the right place. Maybe you have trouble finding joy in the people and things you used to love. Or you find yourself spending more time worrying than not. In my work with clients, I help them understand their symptoms, what might have gotten them here, and help them find a path to feeling better. I do this by using my knowledge of the brain and body to empower people to build self compassion, change their thought and behavior patterns, and build a balanced life.

Healing is a process that we are not meant to do alone. I am here to help soften the barriers that prevent you from healing, and remove obstacles that block your full potential. During each session, I create a warm, non-judgemental space in which we can work together to unpack the challenges that you face in your life. I am committed to helping you overcome the root cause of your problems rather than simply rearranging what’s on the surface.

Your identities aren’t too complicated, society just needs to catch up. You're fed up with having your sexual, gender, or racial identities invalidated and devalued. You’re bombarded with feeling like you’re not enough and at the same time, you’re told that you’re too much. All this chatter makes you doubt and question what your identities mean to you. I get it. I've been there. And I'm here to help.

The clients we work with are experiencing some crisis of meaning, stressful life event, trauma, depression, anxiety or grief & loss and are feeling stuck in the patterns of daily life. It can feel hard to break out of these patterns- to the point where it feels like we are just passengers along for the ride. Psychedelic therapy is about disrupting patterns, "zooming out" and trying to find a perspective shift, in order to see things in a new light and identify new ways of being in the world.

I strongly believe in the transformative power of therapy. I work with clients using curiosity and understanding to explore the roadblocks that keep them from becoming who they want to be. These roadblocks can be met with skills and tools or space to process, ultimately highlighting the client’s own ability to create change. Therapy should be unique to the individual. I am passionate about creating a collaborative therapeutic relationship, and am dedicated to finding the style of therapy that works best for each client. I use a blend of theoretical orientations and offer a direct, holistic, solution-focused lens.

There is a saying that refers to "the dark endless days and the dark endless nights" This can describe how life can feel at times- that there is no light at the end of the tunnel, no end to the sadness, anxiety, stress, or exhaustion. But there is hope.These feelings may be due to many things and that is where counseling can help. By working collaboratively with you and emphasizing your strengths, I will help you find relief, develop skills so you can face your struggles and improve your mental health and emotional well being. When you meet with me, you can expect counseling that is non- judgmental, open minded and collaborative.

Adolescents and young adults often endure complicated transitions and unexpected challenges while learning to navigate the world. I enjoy working with people during dynamic times of life like middle school, high school, and college, and I also specialize in work with creative individuals. Clients are warmly accepted in my practice for who they are today. My goal is to provide a stable environment that is both supportive and challenging. Together, we explore what that person values, where they want to go, what they would like to change, and who they want to become.

Are you in college or recently graduated and feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed? Is it difficult to get motivated or know what your purpose or plan is in life? Are you struggling in school, your career or relationships? Maybe you're wondering if you'll make it through one more semester, ever find a career you enjoy, or have healthy relationships. Sometimes life can feel like too much and it's easy to get overwhelmed and lost in the sea of decisions and expectations, especially in a world like we’re facing today. It's also possible for things to be different.

Cassie Sawyer, owner of Root to Crown Healing & Wellness, is a social justice-oriented art therapist who weaves creativity and holistic mind-body methods into much of her clinical work.  Cassie navigates from an anti-colonial lens, and works to decolonize the mental health field. With strong emphasis in long term healing as a collaborative process, Cassie holds space for a flexible and synergetic flow between provider and client to best support each individual’s evolving needs.

Seeking a therapist can sometimes feel like an overwhelming process and I commend you for taking this first step towards change and healing! I am currently accepting new clients and would be honored to work with you.

Work with adolescents and their families is where my passion lies. I understand and believe that the system a person is operating in can impact all parts of one's life experience. I believe it is important in therapy to meet you where you are at and explore where you want to go. Creating a path to becoming your most authentic self is one of the most rewarding and challenging acts you can do. I am honored to be a part of your process.

I’m an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist, Level 3 trained with the IFS Institute. Most of my clients are not having a mental health crisis, but are struggling more than they’d like and want to be more at ease within themselves and their relationships. I work with alot of other helping professionals and people wanting to use the IFS process for healing, satisfaction at home and work, and for personal growth. Familiarity with the IFS model can help, but isn’t necessary. I’m glad to talk to see if we could work well together.

I have the awesome privilege of getting to work with teens and families all day long. I often meet teens who are uncomfortable with the idea of going to therapy. If your teen works with me, I will work closely with them to ensure that therapy with me isn't uncomfortable. I read teens well & will work hard to help your teen have a positive therapy experience. Teens are accepted in my practice for who they are in the world & they have told me that this acceptance is helpful to them during a time of intense growth & change.

"It's ok not to be ok". Now, more than ever it is natural to feel stressed, overwhelmed, confused or traumatized at times. It may be that you are considering therapy to address a specific problem you are facing; or you want to better understand why you respond the way you do to events in your life. Perhaps you want to talk about difficult or painful experiences you have had. Whatever brings you to this important work, I am committed to listening closely and working collaboratively to help you find what matters most to you.

A person often seeks counseling when they believe something needs to be different. This can be a desire to heal their relationship with food, their body, and movement, and/or stop feeling sad, depressed, anxious, or stuck. Everyone has the ability to change, and working with a counselor can help you develop skills and insights to make these changes more easily. My goal is to assist you in making these adjustments as efficiently and effectively as possible in order to have a more fulfilling life. My clients are capable and competent individuals who are involved in the therapeutic process and have a desire to improve their lives.
