Alexandra Cassidy, LCSW

I have almost thirty years of experience feel comfortable working with people who have a variety of issues including complex PTSD, anxiety, mood disorders and adjustment or existential issues. I would love to hear from you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my master's degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1998. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings including community mental health and most recently the VA. Therapy is a relationship like no other. Its main ingredients are trust, honesty and collaboration. I am open to the possibility of a good therapeutic relationship with almost anyone and I believe that people change and grow all the time, especially when given the right support and the right tools. Years of experience have given me the skills to serve a wide variety of clients. Deep listening, genuine caring and positive regard set the stage for change. From there I use and tailor multiple therapy protocols including EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, among others. The approach is never more important than the relationship, so I always monitor and address therapeutic rapport. I am the spouse of a combat veteran and am familiar with military life and culture.
