Cassandra Myers
Cassandra Myers (they/she/he) is a Registered Social Worker who brings a trauma-informed, liberation-focused approach grounded in lived experience and deep empathy. They believe therapy should center personal and collective liberation while honoring the realities of identity, disability, and systemic barriers. As a queer non-binary survivor of sexual and familial violence with lived experience of disability, Cass brings authenticity and understanding to their work. Clients can expect a validating space where their experiences are recognized and where agency over their story is restored. They have a special interest in supporting survivors of sexual and domestic violence, as well as queer, trans, neurodivergent, and disabled clients navigating trauma and healing. Cass warmly invites you to find a soft place to land and begin reclaiming your sense of safety and self.

- 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.
Therapeutic Frameworks & Approach
- 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.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage.
We always recommend you check with your insurance provider to confirm what coverage you have.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
