“Dr. Cerda is an amazing therapist and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who is genuinely caring and listens to your concerns. As someone who has had negative therapy experiences, she has made me feel safe and comfortable from the beginning. She also comes well prepared for sessions (as evidenced by her highlights and comments from my intake paperwork). She is also non-judgmental, can make/take a joke and is incredibly approachable. I never feel uncomfortable telling her something embarrassing or vulnerable! She is an active listener and makes you feel seen and heard. She always remembers what I brought into the last session, and gives you the floor to talk about whatever is on your mind. She has great insight and makes connections which truly give “ah ha” moments. In sum- If you are looking for someone, I highly recommend Dr. Cerda. ”

Dr. Cerda has been amazing at helping my child navigate their anxiety, adhd, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. Before her, we struggled for years to find a therapist that was able to help.
I’ve been seeing Cassandra for about two months and a half months now and this is the longest I’ve stuck with a therapist. I’ve never felt so seen and heard before. Our weekly calls have become one of the highlights of my week.
So grateful I came across Dr. Cerda on Zoc Doc! She listens intently each session and is collaborative when creating a treatment plan. She creates a safe space and actively checks in for feedback about our sessions. She is incredibly intelligent and easy to talk to. I'm confident that continuing to work with her will help me to heal and become a better person.
Dr. Cerda is a great therapist who truly understands her clients. Since starting with her a few weeks ago, I’ve appreciated her professionalism, intelligence, and the comfortable environment she creates. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking support.
Dr. Cerda is a great, objective listener, and she’s been extremely easy to talk to. I’ve found our sessions immensely helpful, and she’s flexible with her approach to treatment, depending on your needs. Therapy used to feel like a chore, but Dr. Cerda has made it a seamless and enjoyable part of my week. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a psychologist!
Dr. Cerda provides well balanced therapy allowing me to unload my weekly stresses and explore root causes of my behavior. During therapy I feel comfortable bouncing ideas off Dr. Cerda and tailoring my visits for what I am seeking. Overall, I look forward meeting with Dr. Cerda each week and I'm excited to see the long lasting improvements.
I am excited to on ext with Dr. Cerda each week as I explore the root cause of my behavior. She curtails a well balanced session where I feel comfortable unloading my weekly stress but challenges the way I react. I have seen a vast improvement on my stress management as I tend to hold some ideas for my session and spend less time worrying. Overall, I am excited to have the continued support through Dr. Cerda and see a long term mental health care provider.
Dr. Cerda is so patient and kind. She really listens to and understands what I’m saying. I haven’t been seeing her long and already feel like we have made a lot of progress.
Kassandra and I have worked together for quite some time. She is extremely nice, personable, approachable, overall just welcoming and easy to talk to. I feel comfortable and safe in our sessions. We discussed what my goals were and covered any areas of my life I needed help with. Work, family, friends, romantic relationships, self love are just some of the topics that we’ve covered during our sessions. There is a nice balance between short-term “how was your week” type conversations and more long term work and reflection. I definitely recommend Dr. Cerda to anyone seeking counseling!
