Cassandra Buehner graduated with a Master’s in Clinical Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Fullerton. Cassandra has spent over 3000 hours working with traumatized children, adolescents, adults, and families in a clinical setting including individual and couple’s sessions as well as group facilitation. She also has extensive experience working with the LGBTQ+ community and in substance use treatment at all levels of care.

Cassandra’s approach is unique in that she offers understanding, compassion and empathy while also being direct when appropriate. She is the kind of therapist that’ll tell you: The only way out, is through. If you’re willing, she can help guide you. But they’re your feet, your steps, your forward motion. She believes strongly in the power of thought and how learning to challenge negative thoughts can greatly impact your mood and subsequent behaviors. Unfortunately, past traumas, experiences and life circumstances change our perception and view of the world. Fear, depression, anxiety and mistrust can interfere with our ability to pursue dreams, aspirations and healthy relationships. Being healthy is a lifestyle, a commitment to working at something that can sometimes seem daunting. Cassandra will provide an environment where you can feel safe, encouraged and validated. She understands how difficult this time can be and is ready to join you in your process!
