Cassidy Kozusko

Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern

Cassidy believes that healing means becoming more wholehearted and broadening one’s capacity to give and receive love. Cassidy believes that each person is created with innate dignity and that healing involves deepening our relationship with God, self and others.  Her work of counseling addresses barriers to giving and receiving love or becoming ourselves. This involves space to process our stories of past trauma or suffering. In order to do this, Cassidy seeks to create space in the counseling room where clients feel connected, safe, and free to move at their own pace. Cassidy operates from a relational, trauma-informed, and emotionally-focused framework. 

Cassidy has a passion for working with people who are struggling in their important relationships. She works with couples seeking help escaping negative patterns of interacting, individuals suffering the heartaches of relational strife or divorce, or teens and parents who are having trouble connecting in a new stage of life. She also has a heart for helping individuals who suffer from anxiety, depression, or the lasting effects of childhood trauma. 

Before becoming a counselor, Cassidy worked as a middle and high school English teacher in Orlando, Florida and Richmond, Virginia. She has a BA in English from the University of Florida and a MA in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. In her free time, she enjoys meeting friends over a cup of coffee or getting outside with her husband, Luke, and her very active toddler-age son.
