Hello, my name is Cassandra Halper, and I am a pre-licensed, post-graduate Resident in Counseling at OTR Wellness.
In my 9 years in the mental health field, I have used a variety of therapeutic techniques to help first responders, patients experiencing crisis and detox, and families undergoing major life changes. I specialize in trauma, including emergency response, domestic abuse, sexual violence, LGBTQ+ issues, and more.
I am so excited to help my clients discover healthy ways of communicating, resolving conflict, and establishing boundaries in their relationships.
If you need to talk to someone about trauma you've experienced or difficulties you're facing, please reach out. We support clients through grief, trauma, loss, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, family conflict, parenting issues, anger management, self-esteem and career difficulties, compassion fatigue, caregiving, and more.
Therapy is a place to feel understood and supported to let your guard down. Taking the first step can be hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. OTR offers a welcoming, judgment-free space to help you reconnect with your strengths and life’s potential. Using a combination of CBT and person-centered counseling, we help create lasting change.
