Cassie grew up in Indiana and found her way to the Blue Ridge Mountains in 2018 by way of Chicago, Atlanta, and New Zealand! She received a Bachelors in Finance and Supply Chain Management and a Masters in Information Systems from Indiana University before returning to school a decade later to pursue a Master of Social Work degree from Appalachian State University. Cassie is now an LCSW-A and passionate about providing accessible behavioral and emotional support to the High Country community. Utilizing motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, expressive arts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cassie’s approach focuses on what we can do now to reduce suffering, improve wellbeing, and live in alignment with our values, even if we can’t control many of the things happening around us. Outside of work, Cassie can usually be found hiking in the woods, reading on her deck, or snuggling with her cats.
