Often times the most challenging periods of life are when we are in transition or beginning a new chapter. Are you a young adult, maybe beginning college or not sure of next steps to take. Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed at all the new expectations, social dynamics, freedom and responsibilities. Parenthood is another huge life transition. Perhaps you are pregnant, newly postpartum or your child is going through a difficult time? Anxiety & depression are common feelings during such times. How are you coping? I would love to help you explore and grow as you move through this moment in your life!

I'm Cassie Kelly, a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life transitions with the approach of creative arts and solution-focused therapies. In my practice, I offer a concise, results-oriented approach, typically spanning 6-12 sessions, to assist you in finding your path through changes like relationships, welcoming a new baby, separation or divorce, or adapting to evolving family or professional dynamics. I work with women, exploring maternal mental health, family planning, prenatal, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting challenges.

Are you feeling fulfilled in life? Struggling with daily or long term stressors? Feeling depressed or anxious? Having difficulty expressing your thoughts and feelings? This is your opportunity to begin your journey towards growth and change. Meeting goals can exceed your own expectations, often leading to overcoming barriers you have been challenged with.

As you can imagine, relatability is key when it comes to the therapy room! We each have experiences that shape the way we view ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. I will help you reconnect with yourself and build genuine and thriving relationships. I am a Clinical Social Worker with more than twelve years of experience supporting teens, adults, and couples in overcoming anxiety/depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and chronic stress.

The idea of therapy can sometimes be overwhelming, even more overwhelming then what lead you to search for a therapist in the first place. The truth is, however, that therapy can be whatever you need it to be. Whether something as big as a life transition or something as small as a series of bad days, the therapeutic relationship can be a tool for examining, venting, learning, or guiding. It is a nonjudgmental space where you can bring anything on your mind and find the tailor-made support you need to move through and forward. My goal is to provide a comfortable environment and dedicated time for clients to hone in on themselves.

Many of us fall victim to black-and-white / all-or-nothing thinking. For example, you may think you are either always right or the world's biggest failure. When we ignore the nuances in everyone and everything, we limit ourselves unnecessarily. The truth is that no one is either all good or all bad and we often experience many conflicting emotions at once. Challenging this rigid way of viewing the world allows us to examine ourselves and others with more curiosity and compassion. Once we accept ourselves and reality as it is, we can change the things that do not serve us.
