Our mission is to support individuals and families in creating a life they are excited about living – while simultaneously challenging the status quo of mental health services.
We are an innovative psychotherapy and coaching practice. We use creative and concierge tools to meet the needs of our clients. We work diligently to eliminate the stigma attached to mental health and to reposition it as a mental wellness system. We are proactive rather than reactive in our approach.
We proudly customize services. We offer both traditional weekly therapy services as well as more in-depth services such as our EMDR intensives and Family retreats. We are happy you found us. If you are interested in learning how we can help you to become a better, happier, healthier, and more fulfilled you, contact us today.
Therapy should not be a one size fits all approach. The methods our team uses when creating a customized care plan for each client is entirely unique to every individual. We understand that what works for you may not work for someone else and vice versa. Our main priority is helping each individual heal from past trauma, learn to cope with stress, better communication skills, and build healthy relationships with loved ones. Depending on your specific goals and progress in each session, our therapists will continue to build and adjust your care plan. Taking the step to get help is a huge accomplishment and we want to make sure to support your journey in every way we can.

Welcome! My name is Cassandra Van Voorhees and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor. I received my BS in Therapeutic Recreation from Arizona State University and MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University.
I work along-side individuals who are searching for increased inner-peace, acceptance and appreciation in who they are. Together, we will identify past traumas, current stressors, and future fears that are holding you back from living your life to the fullest. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, dissociation, depression and anxiety as well as people who are navigating finding their higher purpose. I utilize evidenced-based modalities including; EMDR, Structural Dissociation, Internal Family Systems, DBT and mindfulness.
Through holistic and integrative practice, I help individuals create an increase in self-love, increase in the ability to tolerate and feel uncomfortable emotions and develop healthy coping skills to manage everyday life challenges while making more room for more enjoyment and connection to the mind, body and spirit.
I bring my authentic self and whole heart into each and every session. I believe the process of a building safe and therapeutic relationship is where profound, life-altering healing can happen. I consider it an honor to hold space for meaningful change and healing and I look forward to supporting you in your healing process.

For many, the journey of recovery or finding the right treatment modality can feel much more attainable when you have proof it works. Cassandra is living proof that advanced clinical work and the strong application implemented into one’s daily routine can increase the quality of one’s life overall. Much more than a testimony, Ms. Marcano has evolved into a true beacon of light that represents “hope” for those who may not have much of that left.
With an array of skill sets and years of experience working in the behavioral health industry, she is someone who can truly see the bigger picture, carrying a heart of gold and a solution-based mindset that has become a staple of our mission and making her a pillar within our organization. She is “experience, strength, and hope” personified.

In a field where many clinicians are undervalued and overworked, we believe that competent and effective clinical work starts with clinicians who are balanced, do their own work and have the time and space to focus on themselves.
We use our clinical expertise with your personal expertise of yourself to light a lantern and walk with you down your journey of self-exploration, healing and happiness.
We proudly collaborate with The Clinical Best Practice Institute to provide our clients with the most ethical and up-to-date therapeutic services that are out there.
We believe in traditional therapy. We also believe there are other ways to get to where we are going and that one size does not fit all. We are taking concierge therapeutic services to a whole new level.
We shine light in dark places. We provide a lantern for people as a guide on their journey. No two journeys are the same but you don’t have to take that journey alone.
Call today to set up a consultation with one of our clinicians!
