Cassandra Perez
MS, LPC, NCC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Hello, I’m Cassandra. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor at Meadowspring Counseling, Ltd.
Healing is possible, even when the wounds we carry began long ago. I specialize in trauma-informed care, healing from shame, and helping clients understand how past experiences shape their present thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help clients process painful experiences, break cycles of hurt, and develop lasting emotional resilience. Together, we work toward greater self-compassion, emotional regulation, and a renewed sense of safety and connection.
For clients who desire it, I offer an integrative approach that thoughtfully blends Christian faith with trauma-informed therapy. I believe our emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being are deeply interconnected. By incorporating your faith into the therapeutic process, we can explore how your relationship with God, spiritual beliefs, and personal experiences intersect with your healing journey. Whether you are working through childhood wounds, grief, anxiety, shame, or relational pain, my goal is to create a space where both your story and your faith are honored as you move toward healing and restoration.
Serving the Hispanic and Christian communities is one of my passions. I bring a multicultural lens to therapy, recognizing how cultural values, family roles, immigration experiences, and intergenerational patterns can shape our identities and relationships. I support clients navigating cultural transitions, family conflict, and the lasting impact of experiences passed down through generations. My goal is to help clients feel understood and supported while honoring the cultural and spiritual values that are meaningful to them.
With experience supporting teens and adults through life’s challenges, I help clients develop practical coping skills, strengthen communication, and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves. Whether you are seeking to process past trauma, navigate a difficult season, strengthen your relationships, or reconnect with your faith and sense of purpose, therapy can be a place to begin. You do not have to remain defined by what you have experienced. Together, we can work toward meaningful healing, renewed hope, and a more grounded, fulfilling life.
