Areas of Expertise

Anxiety Counseling
Anxiety can feel like a constant weight, especially when it’s overwhelming your day-to-day life. Kasandra helps teens and young adults manage their anxiety with practical coping strategies and emotional support. Whether dealing with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or specific worries, she uses evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to help clients identify triggers, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and regain control.

Depression Therapy
Living with depression can often feel isolating and exhausting. Kasandra provides compassionate support for those dealing with sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in life. Through tailored therapy sessions, she works with clients to explore the root causes of their depression, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and create a sense of emotional balance. Kasandra helps clients build resilience and rediscover a sense of purpose.

ADHD Support
ADHD can make daily tasks feel more difficult than they need to be. Kasandra works with teens and young adults struggling with ADHD by providing strategies to improve focus, time management, and organization. She helps clients develop skills to manage impulsivity, stay on top of schoolwork or jobs, and enhance their emotional regulation. Through therapy, clients can feel more confident and empowered to handle the challenges ADHD brings.

Stress & Life Transitions
Teen years and young adulthood are filled with change, and that can lead to stress. Kasandra provides support during life transitions, whether navigating school stress, career planning, or personal relationships. By using techniques like mindfulness and cognitive restructuring, Kasandra helps clients manage overwhelming feelings and build resilience to adjust to these changes with confidence.

Building Self-Confidence
A lack of self-confidence can affect how a person approaches challenges and relationships. Kasandra works with clients to explore the root of their self-doubt and builds practical ways to enhance self-esteem. Through therapy, teens and young adults can learn to identify their strengths, overcome negative self-talk, and develop the confidence to take on life's obstacles with greater self-assurance.
