Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I’m a queer, radically sex-positive therapist who specializes in issues around sexuality, anxiety, and attachment difficulties. My approach honors how the mind-body-culture connection affects our relationships with ourselves and others. Drawing from modalities like psychosomatic therapy, internal family systems (IFS), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I gently push clients to engage with, and heal from, the scary stuff. I’m particularly passionate about helping survivors of sexual trauma get in touch with their bodies and sexuality in a way that feels safe and fulfilling. At the core of my practice is the belief that pleasure is a human right, and I’m here to guide clients toward the pleasure, rest, and joy that they deserve. I’m highly knowledgable about and affirming of sex work, kink, polyamory, queerness, neurodiversity, and fat liberation, among others. I’ve worked as a therapist to predominantly queer individuals and couples since 2022 and have several years’ experience in sexual violence intervention prior to that. I work with individuals, couples, polycules, and folks in all sorts of relationships. I also work with kids and teens to provide age-appropriate gender- and sexuality-affirming therapy. Some common concerns that folks see more for include: anxiety, OCD, existential life questions, gender and/or sexuality exploration, and healing from trauma (sexual, religious, relational, family, or other).

Hello, I’m Cas. I get that the process of choosing a clinician can be difficult and intimidating. I’m here to help ease the pain whenever you’re ready. I am a LPC Associate(under supervision of Dr. Melisa Fleming, LPC-S) with my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M-San Antonio. I also have my sex therapy certification from the Sexual Health Alliance, and am working towards my doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision.

I have worked in community health organizations for over 10 years and now that I am in the role of counselor I still hold that we are all very affected by the world around us. Those with long-term health struggles and minority status suffer more than they deserve, and I want to help alleviate some of that undue burden, by treating the sexual/relationship side of you as a strength in the fight with your everyday battles. I focus on using Neuro-Narrative, with a heavy dash of systems thinking and attachment theory, to help people find contentment in life and move through trauma in a way that empowers.

I have advanced training in working with diverse couples and individuals struggling with long-term mental health disorders or chronic health issues. I also have gained specialized training in consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, kink, fetish or LGBTQ+ identity/orientation, but I understand that those aspects of you are only part of the mosaic of you. If you desire to work with someone who gets that intersectional life(both on a professional and personal level), then I would be honored to help you on your journey of healing/growth.

I specialize in adults who suspect/were diagnosed late in life with autism, trauma, dissociation, disorders of mood/cognition, and interpersonal issues.

I am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas providing sex therapy for individuals, couples, and all relationship lifestyles. I am passionate towards challenging societal norms around sex, love, and relationships.

I work with adults struggling with dating, loving, relationships, sex & sexuality, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and more.

I created my private practice specifically to focus on identity-affirming care for folks who identify as queer and/or who practice ethical non-monogamy. I personally understand how difficult it is to have a therapist who doesn’t understand polyamory and treats it as something strange or intriguing instead of as an integral part of our life or identity. I see adults for individual therapy via telehealth and plan to add relational therapy with couples/polycules/constellations in the future.

Professional specialties and skills: Anxiety, Depression, Anger management, Assertiveness training, Relationship difficulties, Non-traditional relationships, Issues relating to sex and sexuality, College and graduate students.

I have been trained in relationship therapy through my masters program and additional training on Gottman method couple therapy and EFT. In addition, I have completed over 180 hours of sex therapy training including 20 hours of training specifically in polyamory and other forms of non-monogamy. In my practice I work with individuals, couples, and polyamorous relationship configurations. The bulk of my practice is working with a couple who engage or are wanting to begin engaging in nonmonogamy in some form and I work a lot with the relationship members on communication skills, educating on nonmonogamy, negotiating dynamics and boundaries.

My work is rooted in deep listening, transparency, and present moment awareness. I offer a safe and accountable space in which my clients’ can see, hear, and experience themselves more genuinely, with less defenses. An important part of supporting my clients’ healing involves appreciating the complexity of human experience, and piecing together the emotional, physical, neurological, relational, cultural, and societal components that contribute to my clients’ present concerns. There is no discrete solution, all these pieces are interconnected in the micro and macro levels - cultivating awareness and understanding of this brings forth change. I believe that people should make choices that make them happy, and work hard to instill radical self-love in my clients, as well as working to minimize the effects of internalized societal oppression.

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in central San Diego providing solution-focused, person centered, and strengths-based therapy to address anxiety and mood disorders, as well as communication and defining healthy relationships. I also work with neurodivergence and trauma reprocessing, as well as boundary related stressors. I work using elements from emotionally focused therapy, attachment based theory, internal family systems, polyvagal and somatic processing, and mindfulness, while keeping multicultural and intergenerational systems, and social justice issues in mind. I work with a variety of ages from as young as 4 years old to older adults in individual, couples, or family therapy settings.

I have been providing individual, family and group counseling for more than two decades, to clients ranging in age from two to 101. Most of us are challenged by transition and change; breaking out of old beliefs and behaviors (even when they are no longer working well) and establishing new ones is not easy. Whether doing counseling with adults or play therapy with children, I strive to work collaboratively, and to balance the use of listening and support with actively offering ideas and strategies. In addition to helping clients reach their counseling goals, my aim is to offer them tools and skills that will continue to be useful long after they have left my office.

I proudly serve our Delaware community members who are ENM, polyamorous, LGBTQ+, queer, transgender, kinky, and participate in sex-work.

Therapists at the Center for Connection & Desire are committed to serving each client and having them present their whole self in therapy, without judgment and welcoming and celebrating their diverse identities, expressions, and relationships.

There are so many messages we absorb growing up that just don’t fit anymore—messages about who we should be, how we should love, or how we should live. For those in the kink, polyamory, and ethical non-monogamy communities, those messages can feel even louder and more isolating. Maybe you’re carrying the weight of expectations to be “perfect,” to stay silent about your relationships, or to deny the parts of yourself that feel most authentic. Maybe stress, loss, or simply the pressures of day-to-day life are making it hard to feel grounded or even get out of bed. But there is so much more to you than labels, expectations, or the experiences that shaped you.

As a cisgender Afro-Caribbean woman and someone deeply familiar with navigating identities that don’t fit into society’s neat boxes, I know how important it is to have a space where you can bring all of yourself—without judgment. Together, we can explore what’s keeping you stuck and work on creating a more peaceful, authentic here-and-now. This is your space to talk about the things you’ve held back, the hard stuff, and the beautiful complexity of who you are. Let’s talk about it—ALL of it.

Poly, non-monogamous, and mixed-orientation relationships are just as diverse as monogamous ones. Folks can have any number of intimacy dynamics and creative agreements that may need to be renegotiated from time to time, and that requires knowledge of ourselves and clear communication. While not every client will have a need to discuss their relationships or sexuality, every client deserves a therapist who is accepting and affirming of their relationship choices. I work with diverse genders, sexualities, and relationships. I see clients across the lifespan (kids, teens, and adults), for individual, relationship, and family therapy.
