Getting to know Cassandra Magnussen
Mental health is a challenge affecting many aspects of our lives, from anxiety and depression to self-esteem and beyond. Your mental health matters, and that's where I can help. I create a safe environment for clients to process their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors openly. When someone struggles with their mental health, it impacts daily functioning and relationships. My passion is to support individuals so they can not only function healthily in their everyday lives but also become the best version of themselves. Together, we will work on understanding emotions, focusing on self-care, and developing coping strategies to heal and grow. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Fordham University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to guide clients through their mental health journeys with compassion and expertise.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a therapist, my goal is to help my clients feel safe, validated, and comfortable to explore the feelings and emotions that they struggle with. No one is comfortable sharing the vulnerable pieces with others, but being vulnerable allows healing, and this is the end goal. I incorporate several approaches to working with clients, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and creative approaches, such as art therapy and mindfulness. My work is also informed by a family-based perspective, attachment theory, and a background in creative writing, as well as teaching.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Healing is not linear, and one size does not fit all. I hope to aid my clients in their ups, downs, and zigzags across their healing journey. This is why I believe treatment is as unique as the individual. My job is to listen and ask questions as you explore your emotions and the reasoning behind why you do the things you do, as well as to tackle the issues you are facing head-on. Together, we can work on making you the person you always dreamed of becoming.

Great listener

Cassandra worked with my daughter on some behavioral issues that I could not handle. My daughter, who was very shy at first, connected with her immediately, and I was so relieved! After seeing her weekly, my daughter truly opened up more to me, and her behavior changed from something I was furious about to something I was genuinely proud of. Cassandra is excellent, and you will NOT regret sending your child to her! She is super helpful and always considerate; it is such a pleasure working with her!

I worked with Cassandra for a few months. She helped my family and me when I was unsure what to do or who could help us. She was there, and she helped us get through the issues we faced. I got through a time when I didn't think I could make it through in the first place because of her aid. She was caring, attentive, kind, and one of the most down-to-earth people I've ever spoken with. Complete life changer!
