Therapist in New Rochelle, New York Kasandra Reyes, Therapist

Kasandra Reyes helps teens and adults build clarity, resilience, and relief from emotional distress through compassionate, evidence-based therapy at LifeStance Health in New York. She provides individual therapy for patients across NY, supporting teens and adults as they navigate anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, and life transitions with a steady, collaborative approach grounded in clinical expertise. Kasandra treats teens ages 15–17 and adults across the lifespan, tailoring care to each person’s goals and experiences. Her clinical specialties include anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD/trauma, and she also supports individuals living with depression, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies to help patients reduce symptoms, build coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. In addition to these core areas, she offers support for additional mental health concerns as appropriate. A central focus of Kasandra’s work is trauma-informed care, including PTSD and narrative therapy. She is especially passionate about helping individuals process traumatic experiences, reclaim their personal stories, and reduce the impact of trauma on daily functioning. By combining structured, skills-based interventions with narrative approaches, she helps patients develop a stronger sense of agency, emotional regulation, and self-understanding in a safe and supportive therapeutic space. Kasandra has experience working with individuals from adoption and foster care backgrounds, first responders, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. She is attentive to the unique stressors these populations may face and provides affirming, culturally responsive mental health care. Outside of therapy, Kasandra enjoys role-playing and strategy video games such as Zelda, Civilization, and city-building simulations, which reflect her appreciation for creativity and problem-solving. She also enjoys traveling and exploring new places, and as a Latina, finds joy and connection through Latin dancing.
