Helping You Reclaim Your Peace & Rewrite Your Story

You’ve been carrying the weight of your past for far too long. Whether you’re struggling with the‬ emotional toll of trauma, the anxiety that won’t quiet, or the disconnect in your relationships, you‬ don’t have to navigate it alone.‬

I'm Casandra Townsel, LCSW, the founder of Blossoming Hope Counseling and Consulting.

I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families heal, rediscover themselves, and build‬‭ healthier connections.

Casandra Townsel, LCSW, Founder of Blossoming Hope Counseling and Consulting

‬With over 25 years in the helping profession, I’ve supported countless‬ people in breaking cycles of pain, fear, and self-doubt—and I’m here to help you do the same.‬

‭

Using a blend of EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS, and TF-CBT, I guide clients through deep emotional‬ processing and nervous system healing—so that your trauma no longer dictates your life. If you‬ feel stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of how to move forward, my approach offers a clear‬ path toward resilience and renewal.‬

For those looking for a focused, transformative approach, I offer intensive therapy sessions‬ designed to create breakthroughs in a shorter time frame. I also host healing retreats where you‬ can step away from daily stress and fully immerse yourself in self-discovery and growth.‬‭ My work is especially dedicated to supporting BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other historically‬ marginalized communities, ensuring that therapy is a space where your lived experiences are‬ understood and honored.‬

‭

If you’re ready to let go of survival mode and step into the life you deserve, let’s take this journey‭ together.‬

Helping You Find Balance, Confidence, & Connection

Life transitions can feel uncertain, overwhelming, and isolating—but you don’t have to face them‬ alone. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, self-doubt, or major life‬ changes, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can process, heal, and grow.‬

As a Masters-Level Clinical Intern at Blossoming Hope Counseling and Consulting, I work under‬‭ the supervision of Casandra Townsel, LCSW, offering individual, couples, and group therapy.

My approach is warm,‬‭ client-centered, and trauma-informed, integrating CBT, ACT, IFS, Gottman therapy, narrative therapy, somatic-based and mindfulness-based techniques‬‭ to help you manage emotions, improve communication, and build self-confidence.‬

I have a deep passion for working with individuals who feel lost in their relationships,‬‭ overwhelmed by expectations, or struggling with their sense of self. Whether you’re learning to put yourself first, align with your values, set boundaries, process past wounds, or rebuild trust, I’ll help you move toward a place of clarity, strength, and self-acceptance.

‭

As part of my training, I’m actively involved in psychoeducational workshops, group therapy‬‭ facilitation, and mental health advocacy, ensuring that therapy is accessible, inclusive, and‬‭ empowering for all.‬
