Getting to know Cassandra Lawson

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a PsyD from Azusa Pacific University. I have a relational approach to therapy, believing that the greatest tool for healing is the therapeutic relationship itself. I most commonly work with people who struggle with anxiety and depression, have experienced trauma, and face difficulties in their interpersonal relationships. My approach I practice from a psychodynamic orientation within a systemic framework-this means I help people understand how their past experiences impact their present, while also considering how systemic issues and stressors in their world affect their mental health. Each person is unique, so while I ground my work in these modalities, I also draw from others such as CBT, ACT, SFBT, and TLDP. I strive to provide a tailored treatment plan that fits my patients' individual needs. My focus I work primarily with adults and have a particular passion for supporting the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. Many of the people I work with experience anxiety or depression and have had traumatic or difficult experiences that deeply affect their quality of life. I collaborate with my patients to alleviate the stress related to these experiences and address any underlying issues. My communication style I aim to create a safe space where patients can openly discuss anything affecting their lives. I am committed to being anti-racist and promoting social justice, including within the therapy room. I work collaboratively with my patients, empowering them to have agency in their mental health and recovery. My journey to mental healthcare I have always had an affinity for listening, compassion, and making people feel comfortable. Becoming a psychologist was a natural progression of these affinities, providing me with the skills to help people heal from the hardships they experience.
