Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in NY & NJ for Professionals
I’m Cassandra, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker servicing New York & New Jersey with over 7 years of experience providing therapy for professionals. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, low self-worth, attachment wounds, and the lasting impact of family and cultural expectations. Many of my clients are thoughtful, driven, and self-aware, but still find themselves stuck in emotional patterns they can’t quite shift. Even after doing the work, relationships and family dynamics remain challenging and painful.
My approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), somatic techniques, and psychodynamic insight to help you break these cycles, heal at the root, and feel safe, both in solitude and in connection. This work supports your mind, emotions, and body as a whole. If you’re looking for therapy that is grounded, compassionate, and effective, you’re in the right place.
To make therapy more accessible, I now accept Aetna and Cigna insurance through Alma.
How does it work?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helps you identify, challenge and change negative thought patterns, shift core beliefs about yourself, and build coping tools that you will actually use.
Somatic Tools
Reconnect you to your body so you can actually feel and process emotions instead of staying stuck in your head.
Psychodynamic Insight
Uncovers deep-rooted patterns shaped by early relationships and family dynamics so you can stop repeating what no longer serves you.
