Cassandra Gardner (she/her)

I have completed phase 1, 2, 3, expansion, and kids/adolescents training for Brainspotting. I have sought out consultation, and I regularly use brainspotting to help clients access their own healing potential.

I have taken multiple trainings and have read many books on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I formed an ACT group at the agency I was previously employed at, and I incorporate ACT techniques/strategies in every session I have. Additionally, I use ACT skills on a regular basis in my own life.

I have taken multiple courses on Motivational Interviewing and utilize the skills in the majority of the sessions I have with clients. These techniques help identify an individual's readiness to change, reveal barriers to change, and help them move forward toward their personal goals.

Loss comes in many forms, and I have had the honor of supporting many clients through their own personal losses, whether it is the death of a loved one, loss of a job, or end of a relationship, I walk alongside clients as they navigate their grief journey.

I have supported numerous clients over the last five years to become more accepting of their internal experiences, including uncomfortable ones like anxiety, and approach feelings and sensations with a compassion and curiosity.

When I learned about the impact trauma has on the brain and body I sought out extensive training in a modality that will facilitate deeper healing than talking or skills development can achieve.
