Hi, I’m Cassandra Briones, LMSW
Your mind rarely slows down. You’re thinking about what you forgot, what you need to do next, and whether you’re falling behind even when everyone else thinks you have it together. I support adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, and trauma who feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck in cycles of overthinking and self-criticism. Past experiences may also shape how you respond to stress, relationships, and yourself.
Together, we’ll explore patterns that keep you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. My approach is trauma-informed and holistic. We’ll build practical ADHD-friendly tools for executive functioning, emotional regulation, routines, and managing overwhelm. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, work with your brain rather than against it, and feel more confident navigating everyday life.
As a first-generation Latina and trauma therapist, I understand the impact of expectations, family dynamics, and finding your own path. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, heal from past experiences, and build tools that help you feel more confident and grounded in your life.
My Approach
My approach is trauma-informed and focused on helping you understand how stress and trauma can affect your nervous system, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Together, we’ll develop practical skills to manage these responses and strengthen your sense of safety and stability. We may also integrate EMDR, CBT, CPT, or Narrative Exposure Therapy to process painful experiences, along with mindfulness, or ACT to support continued healing, balance, and growth.
