I’m the right therapist for you if…
  • You want to become fluent in the language of your felt sensations. 

  • You’ve done some therapy before but feel like something deeper in your body still hasn’t shifted.

  • You are thoughtful, self-aware, or creative and want a therapist who enjoys exploring meaning and patterns with you.

  • You want therapy that moves at a pace that respects your nervous system rather than pushing you to work harder.

  • You have a complicated relationship with family, identity, or belonging and want a space to unpack that safely.

  • You want a therapist who can be warm and compassionate while also gently challenging you when something important is being avoided.

  • You often feel overwhelmed, dissociated, or disconnected from your body and want tools to reconnect gradually.

  • You are navigating disability, chronic pain, or a body that doesn’t always cooperate with your life.

  • You want therapy to help you understand yourself more deeply, not just cope with symptoms.

If we work together you can expect to feel…
  • Listened to in a way that goes beyond your words. I pay attention not only to what you say but to how your body and nervous system might be responding, so you don’t have to explain everything perfectly to be understood.

  • Respected in your pace and autonomy. Therapy with me isn’t about pushing you toward change before you’re ready. We move at a rhythm that allows insight and safety to grow together.

  • Both supported and thoughtfully challenged. My goal is not just to comfort you but to help you see patterns, meanings, and possibilities that may have been hard to notice on your own.

  • More curious about yourself rather than judged. I try to create a space where your experiences, emotions, and contradictions can be explored with compassion and honesty.

  • Gradually more connected to your inner experience—your thoughts, your emotions, and your body—so that you can make choices that feel more aligned with who you are.

  • What you're hoping to get from sessions.

  • What I can provide.

  • How I would meet your goals.

If we work together you can expect me to…
  • Support you in learning to feel safer inside your body and sensations, especially if your nervous system often feels overwhelmed or on edge.

  • Help you shift self-blame toward a clearer understanding of systems, environments, and power structures that may have shaped your experiences.

  • Guide you in developing skills to separate thoughts from bodily sensations, so difficult feelings don’t automatically spiral into overwhelming stories.

  • Help you slow down the body–mind without judgment, reducing fear around CPTSD responses, emotional flooding, and other flare-ups.

  • Offer tools for regulation, grounding, and somatic awareness so you can respond to stress with more choice and stability.

  • Work with you to notice patterns in relationships, identity, and survival strategies, with compassion rather than criticism.

  • Support you in rebuilding trust in your own perceptions, boundaries, and inner signals.

  • Create space for curiosity, creativity, and meaning-making when you’re making sense of difficult experiences.

  • Go above and beyond to help you access structural supports such as ODSP, the Disability Tax Credit, university accessibility services, and other resources that can materially support your wellbeing.

  • Collaborate with you so therapy becomes a place where your body, mind, and lived experience are all taken seriously.

Booking FAQ

Does Cassandra offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?

First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.

How do I know if Cassandra is a good fit?

You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.

What if I see no available times to book a session?

If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
