In their therapy work, Cassie takes an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, trauma informed, relational approach to discussing identity, trauma, mental wellness and social justice to address how the legacies of slavery and other atrocities continue to ripple into current events and experience. From the levels of societal institutions to our internal experiences, Cassie recognizes that we will engage our survival styles, getting stuck in and perpetuating cycles of oppression and pain unless we work to change and embrace compassion, accountability, and authenticity.
