Getting to know Dr. Cassandra Seltman
You may be experiencing shame, guilt, anxiety, and a lack of meaning and direction in your life. Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis work deeply with these concerns.
I treat symptoms as an integral part of the individual's experience, as they can be thought about and spoken of in order to change one's painful relationship to them. The space I provide is confidential, non-judgmental, and highly creative.
I consider psychotherapy to be a project between two people in which the goal is to understand both conscious and unconscious sources of emotional pain and ultimately open a space to alleviate suffering. The result is a very singular relationship that encourages multiple readings of itself and of all the relationships that have come before it. Through an understanding of feelings, relationships, and a deepening of inner and outer dialogue, we can enter a process of healing that leads to the shedding of old and destructive patterns.

I’ve been seeing Cassandra ongoing and after a few weeks have stopped having panic attacks, which I’ve been struggling with for years. I truly appreciate her passion, guidance and understanding through these tough times.

Cassandra is very smart and empathetic, not only helping me through a particularly difficult time, but also helping me more clearly understand some longer term issues. I was able to use out of network benefits, which turned out to be easy, and so ended up having low per-session payments. I have also recommended Cassandra to a number of people because of the trust I have in her practice.

I struggled for years with chronic OCD and depression and saw many practitioners of various kinds to no avail so I was skeptical to seek further treatment. However, these sessions immediately put me at ease and my symptoms progressively improved. I recommend this for anyone who is seeking mental health treatment, who wishes to gain symptom relief, and also to better understand the causes of these symptoms and ultimately, to redirect their goals in surprising and rewarding directions.

I feel very comfortable with Dr. Seltman because she listens to me and responds appropriately and professionally. She has very deep insight and helps me understand myself and my actions better. She also helped me use my out of network benefits so sessions with her were more affordable to me. Dr. Seltman is very caring as well and I always feel better after talking with her!

I highly recommend Dr Seltman! In the past it was hard to find someone I really trusted to open up with each week. Together we’ve uncovered deep patterns in my life I finally feel empowered to face and change.
