Hi! I’m Cassandra Hoover, a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor working towards my professional license. I utilize a variety of approaches in therapy which include but are not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, applied behavior analysis, motivational interviewing, person centered and narrative therapy. I also believe that sometimes it is important to look at family patterns and the family more holistically, as that can allow individuals to gain more insight about themselves. I also take a trauma-focused, culturally sensitive, and strength-based approach when working with all my clients to support them with their therapeutic goals.
I graduated with my master’s degree in counseling with a concentration in school counseling from Messiah University in 2024. Most of my clinical experience involves counseling children from ages 2 to 18. However, I have also worked to support caregivers and teachers. I always take a collaborative approach to counseling; you are the expert of your life, and together we can work through the issues that life throws at you. I have experience working with individuals with Autism, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity disorder, and Post-traumatic Stress disorder diagnoses. I also have experience working with individuals through grief and loss, anxiety, behavioral issues, depression, anger management, and emotional disturbances. I have also worked with individuals who have been adopted, are in the process of being adopted, are in foster care, and are living in alternative placements such as a guardianship with family members.I am always looking for opportunities to grow and explore better ways to support my clients.
Outside the office I enjoy spending time with my family as I have some nieces and nephews and am looking forward to beginning my journey as a married individual. I also enjoy being involved in my church community, traveling, hunting, and exploring new places. My family would say I am very creative and enjoy making new projects. I am excited to meet you, and I look forward to being part of your journey.
