I am an unconventional therapist in that I value the relationship over the book. I’m not all knowing or above you. Clinical language- not likely to use it, potty mouth- it happens, facial expressions - very likely (poker and I are not friends), absurd use of metaphors - guaranteed. To me, it starts with really knowing you and understanding who you are on the inside. I am not here to judge you- it doesn’t belong in therapy. This means getting to know what you do for fun by yourself, or just how wild you get on a Friday night. I want to know about your friends, significant others, or even the crazy family that you love but drives you nuts! Together I work with you to sort, understand and piece together the puzzle pieces of your life to create a deeper understanding of who you were, where you came from, who you are now and who you want to be. I will challenge you, talk about the uncomfortable and awkward stuff and push you. We will do it side by side over some shared lattes, laughs and happy dances! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6067827766fbf41515504198/1619560639750-8G4KMIDKJOEFU0KJA6B4/Cassaundra+Hanson_Tim+Romley_Terra+Mar+Point_San+Diego_2021-04-09+530pm_1618109373_recuQnQGiIt9dSAWk_20210409082_81.jpeg About - Why Therapy? Trauma. It freezes you wherever you are when it happens. I have experienced quite a few, I've suffered from depression, anxiety, PTSD. My friends, my loved ones, some of them have really been put through life’s ringer. The pain, the sadness, the fight to just feel alive, normal and HAPPY. Normative culture has gotten better at broadcasting the ugly side of life- rape, self harm/suicide, alcoholism, toxic and abusive relationships, slow failing marriages, divorce, social, racial and economic inequalities- but it is STILL taboo. Seeking therapy- still comes with judgement. Add in the I don’t have time, don’t have the money and no one will understand excuses and we end up STUCK- stuck in a life we don’t like with no way out. Therapy is not the end all be all. I can not fix you because you are not broken. You hold all the tools for success within you. It won’t be easy. It won’t happen in a day. Like life, therapy is a journey full of ups, downs, and windy roads. Sometimes you feel things improve and sometimes you feel you are sliding backwards, but at the end of the day if you invest in yourself, you will feel happy and fulfilled and I will be here to support you every step of the way. https://carvingriverscounseling.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-05-11 https://carvingriverscounseling.com/all-services daily 0.75 2024-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6067827766fbf41515504198/1619560848005-SA3LE33OVFAO6766GKG0/Cassaundra+Hanson_Tim+Romley_Terra+Mar+Point_San+Diego_2021-04-09+530pm_1618109373_recuQnQGiIt9dSAWk_20210409044_43.jpeg Services - Speciality Areas No matter the age, the stage of life, your past or uncertainty about the future - we can all relate to experiencing struggles, low self-confidence, stress and pressure. Regardless of what has brought you to therapy, together we will identify your needs and goals; while strengthening your coping and communication skills that will not only help you in the moment but help heal the past and set you on the right path to a positive more fulfilling life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6067827766fbf41515504198/1618422123966-PYVTS71ACXM13S2V3IFG/logan-weaver-auLTINz3PnU-unsplash.jpg Services - Couples Counseling Relationships are HARD! Very rarely does it look anything like your favorite Hollywood rom-com. Doesn’t matter if you are just starting out or well seasoned, understanding one another, communicating, working as a team - sometimes seems like it should be the simplest thing and yet it proves to be the hardest. I get it, my husband and I have been on quite the journey together and still ride a crazy rollercoaster from time to time! Although, no matter what your struggle is, if you are BOTH dedicated to change, growth and learning new ways to come together, a healthy relationship IS possible. https://carvingriverscounseling.com/home daily 1.0 2025-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6067827766fbf41515504198/1619560209073-JE51CSI7G57E0MTX37HM/Cassaundra+Hanson_Tim+Romley_Terra+Mar+Point_San+Diego_2021-04-09+530pm_1618109373_recuQnQGiIt9dSAWk_20210409009_8.jpeg Home - About Cassaundra Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California, Colorado & Idaho It is my belief that we should all be in the driver seats of our own life. Too often we feel victim, or passenger to all the things that we have experienced resulting in feeling down and out of control. The connection between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors is so simple and yet so revolutionary. To understand your feelings and behaviors through therapy, you are going to have to challenge yourself, be brave and vulnerable, but I promise you, when you do you will feel stronger, healthier and happier. I will be here from start to finish helping you clear your own path to self fulfillment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6067827766fbf41515504198/1619560330760-2S2TZNR1LUD3VUBBDNPG/Cassaundra++Hanson_Tim+Romley_Terra+Mar+Point_San+Diego_2021-04-09+600pm_1618110990_rec6yTLZGzwU87m2o_20210409114_19.jpeg Home - My Approach I'm offering a deep dive with a real person. Someone whose sole purpose is to see YOU- the real you, the scarred vulnerable bits that are hard to show the rest of the world. I am motivated by my own experiences and those of others. I've lived trauma, gotten real friendly with depression and PTSD and completely felt the consequences of low self-esteem. I have been a child of divorce, an awkward and lonely teenager, a confused and lost 20 year old, a mom and a female business owner. I believe that in finding our own strengths, owning our weakness without shame and curating peace within, we end up being the person we want to be and forever changing and impacting the people and world around us. https://carvingriverscounseling.com/schedule-a-call daily 0.75 2024-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6067827766fbf41515504198/1620699675423-KXZL3MQ3LIDZ4CLQUFX1/River%402x-100.jpg Schedule a Call https://carvingriverscounseling.com/faqs daily 0.75 2023-09-13 https://carvingriverscounseling.com/men daily 0.75 2025-09-02 https://carvingriverscounseling.com/women daily 0.75 2025-09-02 https://carvingriverscounseling.com/couples daily 0.75 2025-09-02 https://carvingriverscounseling.com/welcome daily 0.75 2025-11-12
