Brian Cass, MA, LMFT
Specializes In:
Before we meet, I ask that you set aside any predetermined thoughts of what therapy might be. I want to help you dissolve the idea that therapy is standardized and sterile. In my office, your story, your pain, your experiences are unique to you and I will honor that by ensuring that I honor how unique YOU are. I believe that our profession has come a long way from psychotherapy on a leather couch filled with head nods & frantic writing on a notepad. I look forward to showing you how beneficial talk therapy truly can be. My passion is helping couples reconnect, untangle marital issues, & help overcome issues of infidelity. Though my specialty is couples as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I also work individually with adults of all genders, ages, & backgrounds. I have spent the last 18 years working with military populations, domestic violence, military relationships, moral injury, PTSD, trauma/sexual trauma, self-esteem (cases of the not good enoughs). “The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so the necessary may speak.” Often times, the key to feeling better is simplifying the problem, so we may better work towards a solution. I offer a comfortable & confidential space where you can speak openly without judgment. I want to be a breath of fresh air for you in a warm and interactive environment. We may, at times, even smile or laugh. My style is compassionate and direct mixed with appropriately timed dry humor. I hope to bring calm to your day, that you walk out of my office feeling better than when you entered it.
