Kassandra Cooper

Hi there, I'm Kassandra!

I provide therapy to adolescents and adults using evidence-based treatments. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar disorder. My goal is to help you navigate these challenges with compassion and proven approaches.

My focus

I work with adults and adolescents experiencing trauma, borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and complicated grief. I have extensive experience supporting clients through these challenges and helping them find their path forward.

My approach

My approach is client-centered and strengths-based. I use cognitive behavioral therapy as a foundation and am trained in trauma-focused CBT, dialectical behavior therapy, and prolonged exposure. I believe in tailoring treatment to fit your unique goals and lifestyle.

My communication style

I create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel at ease. I bring my authentic self to every session and prioritize making therapy feel safe and comfortable. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely heard and supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been a helper with deep empathy for people. Growing up, I faced my own challenges, and I want to guide others through hard times. I find joy in seeing clients succeed and have no problem walking with them through difficult moments. Resiliency has shaped my life, and I want to help you find it too.

My goals for you

I start with a thorough assessment of what's going on, then we have an open discussion about what you hope to achieve. Together, we'll make sure your goals are attainable and measurable. I'll guide you with examples of objectives while encouraging you to share what feels feasible for you.

Our first session

In your first session, I'll gather background information and discuss your goals. You'll have time to ask questions, and we'll problem-solve any barriers to treatment. I'll also review confidentiality and what to expect from our work together.
