Find a Therapist in United States

I offer cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you make your own positive life decisions. Through sharing ideas in a caring, respectful relationship, you are actively involved in decision-making throughout the therapy process. My role is to provide a supportive and trusting environment.  

My clients often say.. "you nailed it!" when I offer my sense of things. Maybe its my 20 plus years in the field, maybe its pattern recognition, or maybe its intuition... hard to say. I have a way of getting to the heart of things with my clients. In these days of so much outside noise, it can be hard to tune in to what's really important, what's really needed. I help my clients connect with this and with the unlived parts of themselves.  

Hello! I see therapy as a casual conversation with a purpose. That purpose is to create an opportunity for you to explore your experiences, better understand yourself, and discover possibilities for change. For more than 21 years, I have had the privilege of supporting people through challenges of all shapes and sizes. Some have names such as anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship difficulties. Others are simply parts of life that have become difficult, confusing, overwhelming, or no longer feel right. I don’t believe a problem needs to fit neatly into a diagnosis to deserve attention. I believe each person comes to therapy with their own story, strengths, experiences, and understanding of the world. You are the expert on the life you’ve lived. I bring my clinical experience, curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to explore that life alongside you. Change doesn’t always happen in a straight line. Sometimes we know exactly where we want to go, and sometimes figuring out the destination is part of the journey. Wherever you are when we meet, that’s where we’ll begin.  

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. New Certification: CERTIFIED CLINICAL ANXIETY TREATMENT PROFESSIONAL and Certified Integrative Counselor  

I offer support for manifestations of mental and physical chronic conditions, as well as during times of transition and/or recovery from trauma and adversity. I welcome folks from all walks of life into my practice. Together, we will explore and make sense of what is happening in your life, and make it easier for you to understand what steps to take and how you want to take them.  

My hope and intent is for you to feel heard, seen, supported and hopeful about you and your circumstances. Van Gogh said it best, "I feel there is nothing more truly artistic than loving people." Our creative collaboration will equip you in getting your needs met in healthy ways.  

Dr. Houben provides therapy that goes beyond merely treating symptoms and takes a depth-oriented perspective in order for us to examine root causes and incorporate enduring change. She views therapy as a collaborative process, focusing on the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for self-exploration and change. She understands that your cultural background is an integral part of your identity, so she is dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming therapeutic space. With a comprehensive approach to treatment, Dr. Houben recognizes that well-being encompasses the integration of mental, emotional, and physical aspects of health and considers the entirety of your being. In therapy, we will begin a collaborative journey together, exploring the depths of your experiences, fostering psychological flexibility, and facilitating profound personal growth. If you are ready to embrace on this transformative process, I am here to understand your lived experiences and provide you the support, guidance, and expertise you need. Together, we will embark on a path toward self-discovery, healing, and, incorporate lasting positive change.  

Have you experienced trauma, abuse, relationship challenges or loss? Do you struggle with codependency? Do you have difficulty setting healthy boundaries? Do you want to build self-esteem and confidence? Have your attempts to create meaningful changes in your life been met, repeatedly with short-term- success? Are you losing hope with the prospect of a prosperous meaningful future? Hi! My name is Cassie, and I'm a Christian, faith-based therapist licensed in Florida and Ohio and located in the sunny (and sometimes rainy!) state of Florida. The questions posed above speak to challenges many of us are regularly faced with but may find it difficult to speak about. Instead, we may find ourselves harboring feelings of shame and guilt which blocks us from pursuing and receiving the help we need. My practice is exclusively dedicated to supporting those who wish to incorporate their Christian faith into the therapeutic process. I am passionate about serving Christian clients who are seeking support in navigating life’s challenges through a Christ-centered perspective. I believe in the power of faith to guide healing, and I am honored to walk alongside individuals who desire therapy that aligns with their beliefs. Ultimately, my desire is to help you reach a place of freedom and peace, where you can begin experiencing incremental yet impactful improvements to your overall wellbeing so your life and relationships can bear the fruit they were always meant to. I believe there’s hope for everyone, even those feeling utterly defeated in this season of their lives. If you’re here, then take it as evidence; the time for healing is now.  

I offer Christian Counseling to those who desire to include faith into their therapy. I speak the language of people who consider their faith to be an important part of their identity. I also have a heart to help people who are hurting, in need of transformation, and healing. It is rewarding to help people become the best version of themselves.  

I understand that reaching out to a therapist and starting therapy can be challenging and scary. I'm here to validate your feelings and help you discover your personal goals and teach you techniques to cope with all of lifes stressors- whether that be job stress, trouble in relationships, family history/trauma, or any other "stuff" that's stopping you from being your best self. Sometimes life gets in the way, and I'm here to help with all of that.  

Love should not hurt. If you find yourself worried, anxious, or overwhelmed in your relationships, I can help. Do you lay in bed at night with racing thoughts, wondering what you seem to keep getting wrong or worrying about whether your partner will leave you? Do you worry that you’re not enough or that you’re sometimes too much? Do you live in fear of rejection or abandonment? You may have an anxious attachment style or even complex trauma (issues from your past that present in your current relationships). If love hurts, I can help. * I specialize in helping adults who struggle with self-confidence, worry (anxiety), and trauma (usually from stressful childhoods or past relationships) find clarity, calmness, and confidence. When my clients come to see me, they're often distressed in their relationships. They're smart, kind, and successful. But they're often self-sabotaging, and they don't even realize it. In our work together, my clients learn how to show up in their lives in a way that fosters fulfillment. You can have that, too. Imagine your potential when you understand and manage what's holding you back. You can have happy, healthy relationships when you're the best version of yourself. You can do this! I can help.  

Finding a therapist that is the right fit can be hard. I partner with families to support their children and young adults through challenging times. With a focus on anxiety, depression, ADHD, and disordered eating, I support you or your family in developing resiliency and thriving. By partnering with families, I believe that we can work together to support your child in overcoming struggles and develop a resiliency that can benefit them the rest of their lives. I am strength-based, trauma informed, anti-racist, ally to LGBTQ+ community and Health at Every Size aligned. I specialize in working with kids and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression or disordered eating and partner with the family to support the client in reaching their therapeutic goals.  

I create a collaborative and nonjudgmental space for clients who are ready to make meaningful changes and live more authentically. I specialize in working with people who have spent much of their lives people-pleasing or prioritizing others, and who are now ready to reconnect with their own needs, values, and voices. As an Asian American woman, I bring lived experience and cultural humility into my work, and am deeply committed to creating a safe, affirming space for people of color and members of marginalized communities.  

Life throws a lot of things our way, but you don't have to go through it alone! I am passionate about helping people find healing and wholeness in relationships and within yourself. I walk alongside couples who are struggling to connect, fighting the same fight over and over, or working to overcome betrayal or trust issues. I also work together with individuals who want to be their best selves, but anxiety, identity issues, grief, or low self-esteem is getting in the way. You are not alone in this journey! Reach out today to get started on your path towards relief and healing.  

You're here because you're feeling stressed, stuck, or simply wanting to grow—and I’m here to help. Together, we will navigate the internal and external challenges you’re facing, so you can move through them with greater ease and clarity. In our work, your feelings, process, and perspective will be validated and supported in a safe, compassionate space. And sometimes, we don’t always see or understand what we truly need. My approach to therapy helps you develop the skills to navigate relational and emotional challenges while deepening your understanding of what may be missing and how to meet those needs. Life is already hard enough—you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to offer you a safe, skillful, and supportive space so you don’t have to.  

I've been working with clients in a consultant capacity since 2009, and since completing my Master's in Social Work a few years ago as an LMSW/LSW, have added a strong clinical foundation to that experience. Together, they give me a deep well of practical, real-world knowledge to draw from with every client who sits down across from me. In addition, I have an adult bonus daughter and two adult children (with whom I have wonderful, fulfilling relationships) as well as having been a coparent. I believe learning never stops — especially in a healing profession. I regularly pursue continuing training across a range of modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-informed, neuro-affirming approaches, so the tools I bring into session stay current, evidence-based, and responsive to the person actually in front of me. I enjoy working with a wide variety of individuals, couples, and families from all backgrounds, walks of life, and family structures, and I bring particular depth of experience working with families who are CPS or CYFD involved. Social justice and equity aren't an add-on to my practice — they're part of how I show up for every client, and I'm committed to creating a space where people of all identities and circumstances feel respected, seen, and supported.  

I believe that therapy is a gift to ourselves. Taking time to explore our inner struggles and how they are affecting our daily lives can be empowering and eventually freeing. It is a journey of courage and strength, and I am honored to be able to walk beside others as they travel it.  

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and psychotherapist. I serve in leadership and teaching roles at NYU, where I teach the next generation of psychiatrists and work at the intersection of college mental health and academic medicine. My practice focuses on high-achieving professionals and students navigating mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, perfectionism, and identity development. I created my private practice space, The Light Room, to be decidedly different from traditional psychiatric practices — care that's evidence-based yet deeply human, personalized, accessible, and responsive. I specialize in integrating psychotherapy with medication management to offer a truly comprehensive treatment approach.  

For the past 21 years, I have been helping people discover the origins of their problems, and to heal from the resulting brokenness. Very often the brokeness began long before the symptoms and life struggles manifested. For individuals who have had adverse experiences that required dissociation to survive their traumas, finding the right therapist is not easy. My many years of working with traumatized individuals as a Pastoral Counselor combined with my clinical training has enabled me to help many heal and fully recover from their PTSD and dissociation. I provide a non judgmental approach to help people heal and recover so that they can live productive lives. My pastoral experience and Christian training enables me to help the whole person.  

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.
