Getting to know Cassandra (Cassie) Tumanuvao

Hi there, I'm Cassandra! My heart's desire is to provide a safe place for my clients to process their struggles. Therapy can be intimidating or feel overwhelming, but I see it as my job to build your trust so you can talk with me about things you may never have shared before. My approach is to create a validating environment while offering a neutral and direct perspective. My approach When working with a client, I prefer a direct approach. I strive to balance solution-focused and emotionally-focused therapy. My top modalities are CBT, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based therapy. I also practice faith-based counseling, which I offer upon client request. My focus My ideal client is someone struggling with knowing what to do next. They are likely overwhelmed but tired of inaction and seeking a way out of the mess. I can help you break things down into manageable pieces and provide the accountability you need to start moving toward change. My communication style I am an assertive communicator. I maintain eye contact, reflect back what you share to ensure understanding, and point out when your actions don't align with your words. My journey to therapy I've known I wanted to be a therapist since sixth grade. As a kid, friends naturally came to me for advice or to talk. I was fascinated by why people choose to do what they do. To prepare for this career, I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. Along the way, I exposed myself to diverse experiences: I was a preschool teacher, an ABA therapist, worked with teens in an inpatient facility, and adults in rehab. I am also a certified Prepare/Enrich pre-marital facilitator. With my faith background, I can offer biblical counseling as well.
