About Cassandra Abel

I believe that meaningful change happens when you feel both supported and actively engaged in the process. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping you better understand yourself while also building practical skills you can use in your daily life.

Many people come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or unsure how to move forward—especially in relationships or after difficult past experiences. In our work together, we’ll focus on increasing awareness of those patterns, strengthening your ability to respond rather than react, and developing tools that help you feel more steady and in control.

My work is holistic and integrates mind and body. In addition to my clinical training, I have a background as a yoga teacher and Zumba instructor, which allows me to incorporate elements of mindfulness, movement, and nervous system regulation into our work when it’s helpful. This can support you in not just understanding what’s going on, but actually shifting how you experience stress, emotions, and day-to-day challenges.

Clients often begin to notice more clarity, improved emotional balance, and greater confidence in how they navigate relationships, stress, and life transitions. Over time, the goal is to help you build a set of tools and a deeper understanding of yourself so that you can create changes that feel sustainable and aligned with what matters most to you.

If you’re looking for a space that is supportive but also focused on growth, skill-building, and meaningful change, I’d be glad to work with you.

“Cassandra was amazing to work with. I came into therapy over four months ago really struggling with decades old trauma from childhood that had been impacting my life for a long time. She gave me such great care and compassion and was such a safe person for me to heal with. The tools, exercises and information she used in her work with me have been life changing. I highly recommend Cassandra as she is tops at her profession and is so good at what she does to give hope and a path forward to a better and more fulfilling life.”

“Cassandra Abel is a very caring and compassionate person. She listens to what I have to say, gives me suggestions on how to deal with certain issues, and seems to understand what I am going through. I am thankful I have her as my therapist.”

“I don't really know how to begin this, but Cassandra helped me out so much. I came to her after losing a friend to suicide. She helped me find ways to grieve in healthy ways, and understand why I was feeling certain feelings. She also helped me connect with my inner emotions on how to deal with stress, anxiety, depression, and even how manage unfortunate events with family. Cassandra is not only a great listener, but active helper. I can't thank Cassandra enough for helping me through my grieving journey.”
