About Me

Ali Cassidy

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with almost 30 years of experience in the public sector, most recently at the VA. I can address complex mental health issues including those related to past trauma. I am also a Board-approved clinical supervisor and have helped dozens of therapists obtain independent licensure in the state of Arizona.


My Story

Creating a safe space where people can begin to hear and honor their own inner voice is what draws me to this work. I love helping people clarify and honor their deepest feelings and needs. In addition to listening skills, years of training and experience have given me specific therapeutic skills and methods which can help you address a variety of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety and relationship issues. I am honored to support people on their journey of transformation and healing.

Approach

I believe that many emotional, relational and communication problems stem from early childhood experiences. Not all of these could be classified as “traumatic”, but some early experiences train our nervous system to react in ways that no longer serve us. These older coping strategies served an important purpose, but can keep you “stuck” if they are not addressed and healed. Traumatic experiences in adulthood can also create similar triggers and unwanted responses. If this sounds like something you struggle with, then I can help. Even problems like anxiety and depression can be the result of this kind of stress. Identifying and working through these automatic thoughts and reactions will open up new, healthy ways of being. Respect and collaboration are the anchors of my practice and no therapeutic method is more important than a trusting relationship.

If you are ready to begin your journey of healing, I’d love to hear from you. I also welcome active-duty military, veterans and first-responders. We will work together to understand and honor your history, identify your current concerns and develop the skills and knowledge you need to move forward in your life with joy, confidence and resilience.
