From day one, Cassandra has been respectful, sincere, supportive and reassuring. I respect her honesty and taking time to make sure that I understand things we are going to work on and her clarity in what she’s saying. Cassandra will sometimes let me in to her personal life and give examples and show that she, too, is human! She is funny too which is a huge plus because most sessions are not necessarily pleasant topics. What I really appreciate is that Cassandra makes you see things from different perspectives. She is an outstanding person, professional and I absolutely admire her.

Cassandra, has been amazing. Focusing on reaching my goals and doing actual talk and solutions not just allowing me to ramble on and on, and maintaining me on victim mode as has been my experience with other counselors and therapists in the past. I truly appreciated that.

I highly recommend Cassandra Barnes if you are ready to do the work and really be truthful about where you are in life and where you want to be.

When I started therapy, I was what I felt like was the lowest part of my life. I felt down and out and was looking for a break through. After meeting Ms. Cassandra and working with her for 6+ months, I have been able to overcome obstacles that I thought I couldn’t. She is easy to talk to, understanding, caring, and really puts her heart into her sessions. She is truly amazing! Thank you for continuing to give me the tools I need to move forward in life!

Excellent Counselor

If you want someone who won’t dance around the issue, choose her. Anyone can sit and listen, but if you want to find a solution, book Ms. Barnes. She has a respectful way of giving insight that I can appreciate. Be prepared to be uncomfortable in the best way possible!

Cassandra has helped me work through issues that I have needed to confront, but didn’t know how to. She listens to me talk through my week, listening carefully for things that we can work through together - really getting to root causes of things. I really wish I had pursued therapy sooner! I am so grateful for Cassandra’s expertise and her very human approach.

She's great - she's super knowledgeable in what she's doing and confident in the approach she takes to offer help to her clients. She's extremely understanding and accommodating with her schedule and genuinely comes off as someone who is fully invested in your well being and helping you get better at whatever problems or issues you're presenting her with. She's so calm and direct in her communication, offers amazing advice, and is always so positive that it inspires you to be more positive just by hearing how she's doing. I couldn't recommend her enough, I'm grateful that I connected with her and hope to continue our relationship into the future.
