Getting to know Daren Casagrande

Hi there, I'm Daren! Hello! My name is Daren Casagrande, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT92438) with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Western Seminary. I primarily treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma issues using IFS, TEAM-CBT, DBT, and Coherence Therapy. My approach I use a more focused, coaching-style format where we do less talking about your week and more on treating or teaching you to cope with the issues you have. You create goals with my support, and then we’re off and running to reach them using whatever clinical approach makes the most sense. My focus I am most comfortable treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, or trauma issues. Many people see themselves as people-pleasers or struggle with low self-esteem, difficulty setting boundaries, or treating themselves as equals. They’re great at figuring out what others need but struggle to identify what they want, feel, or need. My communication style My sessions are really focused and guided, but at the same time, I try to keep things fun and light—not too serious all the time except when it needs to be. I like to keep things respectful and listen deeply so that people feel cared for and understood. My journey to mental healthcare I wanted to become a therapist because I care deeply about helping people who are asking for it and supporting them so they don’t have to figure out everything on their own, the hard way. My goals for you I like to help people set up their big-picture goals by identifying what isn’t working for them right now, then breaking it down into smaller pieces to create goals and objectives with concrete ways to evaluate progress. My first session with you I usually go over the legal information I need to share, explain my philosophy and approach in therapy to see if it fits with what you want, and then get into hearing what happened that brought you to therapy.
