Dr. Kassandra Cerda, Psy.D.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist experienced in providing psychotherapy to adolescents and adults navigating a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, traumatic childhood experiences, relationship concerns, life transitions, and self-esteem difficulties. My approach to therapy is grounded in warmth, authenticity, and deep respect for each person's lived experience. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or looking to understand yourself better, we can work together to make meaningful change. In our sessions, I guide through inquiry, bits of insight, and gentle observation. I listen not only to what you say, but also to what you don’t. Beneath our everyday stressors and emotional patterns often lies a deeper theme — one that may echo across different areas of life. Together, we can explore these threads, making space for awareness and healing. I bring all aspects of myself into my work — quirks, humor, and all — because I am also deeply human. I show up to sessions as myself: curious, imperfect, and fully present. You might hear a metaphor or story, share a laugh, or sit quietly with a cup of tea,
