Cynthia Cassil, LCSW

Welcome! So glad you are here. I am a trauma therapist who works with individuals that feel stuck - adults who are holding it together on the outside, but feel overwhelmed or weighed down by the past on the inside. My specialties include adult survivors of childhood abuse, military and veteran populations. I also work with adults who have experienced stressful life experiences that may have resulted in PTSD, or other symptoms that are causing emotional pain. My goal is to help you find a way forward. A large part of my work also includes helping clients strengthen boundaries and rebuild self-esteem that's been negatively shaped by their past. My training includes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, which can be especially helpful in recovering from trauma or stressful experiences. EMDR helps process those painful experiences so they no longer feel as present or overwhelming. I am also certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps to examine and modify unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns that are causing emotional pain. Additionally, I provide talk therapy that focuses on increasing insight, feedback and providing practical tools. You will find my style is warm, authentic, and engaged. I listen carefully while also offering insight, feedback, and practical tools when helpful. I keep a focused caseload so I can offer consistent, thoughtful, and engaged care. If this resonates, feel free to reach out. I'm happy to connect, answer any questions you might have, and see if it feels like a good fit to work together.
