My name is Cassandra (she/they), I am a trauma-informed licensed mental health counselor who specializes in complex trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, body-acceptance/normativity, and radical self-healing. My passion lies in being a witness to your story, your power, and your innate ability to transform into the version of yourself that is unapologetically you. If you're feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself because of trauma, old stories, internalized shame, and/or limiting beliefs then I am here to tell you that it is never too late to come back home to yourself. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, experiences, and needs and I will work alongside you to develop strategies that you feel connected to. I utilize somatic practices, mindfulness, narrative therapy, inner child work, and internal family systems to help you connect to the root of your presenting problems so you can feel empowered to move into a state of healing and acceptance. I look forward to being apart of your journey to peace.

Ms. Elrod has been a boon our sessions. Giving copious opportunities for me to learn more about our discussions in detail.
