Cassandra Janke
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Graduate Social Worker, Psychotherapist
I favor therapeutic approaches that provide a chance to connect the body, mind, behaviors, and emotions, such as CBT and mindfulness practice.
I entered the therapy world not through what I would consider a linear or efficient path. When I served in the United States Peace Corps in Nicaragua, I learned about my role as a white-bodied person in the world and all of the complicated perspectives considering race, power, and privilege. In working many years at an abortion clinic, I realized that I enjoyed listening to and being an advocate for individuals in their pregnancy and major life decisions. A degree in social work made the most sense to me in formalizing my skill set. I am proud of the values that are upheld in the profession, most importantly dignity and worth of the person. Therapy is a lot of work. I’m here for the hard work though. I’m eager to accompany clients in the work and be a supportive listener all throughout. I believe that humans are capable of a lot, and even in the face of a big issue, small steps can be taken to make progress. I find it helpful to set small goals and work towards incremental change. I enjoy talking through pregnancy issues, life transitions, work stresses, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
