Cassandra Singh, LMHC

About Cassandra

Cassandra Singh grew up as the person everyone always felt comfortable confiding in, so it’s no coincidence she became a therapist! A first generation Guyanese-American, she has learned to manage familial expectations and complicated histories while developing her own sense of  independence.

With a compassionate and empathetic approach, Cassandra will gently but directly steer you through the patterns that are making you feel stuck. With her warm, nonjudgmental style, she’ll help you address the challenges holding you back from living your best life. 

If you are dealing with any of the following issues, Cassandra may be the right therapist for you:

  • Lack of experience with therapy. Like Cassandra, many people grow up in an environment where there is a lack of general discussion about mental health. She will address any preconceptions you might have and help you make the space to do the necessary work it takes to live a healthier life.

  • Emotional regulation. Perhaps you are dealing with depression or anxiety, and you feel stuck in a negative loop of emotional extremes. Cassandra can help you gain perspective on your feelings and a greater sense of inner calm.

  • Work stress. Sometimes our jobs can feel overwhelming, even if we like the work we do! Cassandra can help you sort out ongoing challenges and develop a healthier sense of work/life balance.

  • Career pivots. If you are in the midst of switching tracks around your job or any other major life transition, Cassandra can help you feel more grounded and intentional as you take your next steps towards living your life’s purpose.

  • Neurodiversity. If you are struggling with the particular ways you think, learn, process information, or behave, or perhaps you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD or OCD, Cassandra can help you find your strengths and mitigate the challenges around your particular symptoms or condition.

  • Family dynamics. Families can be complicated. Expectations can create a lot of pressure, and it can be difficult to maintain healthy boundaries. Cassandra can help you develop practical strategies for balancing your own needs while keeping the peace with loved ones.

  • Relationship issues. If you are in a couple, Cassandra can help you both to clarify the terms of your relationship and your communication dynamics, particularly in the beginning, when you are creating the foundation for your future together.

  • Women’s issues. If you are a woman, you may be dealing with societal expectations around traditional roles or coping with fallout from gender-based discrimination or worse. Cassandra can help you find the strength to protect yourself, meet your needs proactively and live independently.

  • Cultural issues. You may come from an immigrant family, or perhaps you are balancing multiple cultures in a relationship. Cassandra can assist you in navigating the complexities around identity in an increasingly challenging cultural landscape.

Cassandra has made it her life’s purpose to break generational barriers to mental and emotional wellbeing. If you are ready to deal with inherited traumas and ongoing pressures to stake out your own identity, she will help you feel empowered to take the necessary steps to attaining the life you want and deserve!
