Cassandra Monfared LMFT

College is a massive transition, and it is incredibly easy to feel overwhelmed by academic pressure, perfectionism, or the constant anxiety of trying to balance it all. If you are feeling stuck, burnt out, or struggling with racing thoughts, you don’t have to navigate this alone.

I am an LMFT practicing via telehealth in California. I specialize in helping college students and young adults manage anxiety, quiet their busy minds, and build practical tools for real relief.

Rather than relying on traditional talk therapy, we will use active, evidence-based, and somatic tools tailored to how your brain and nervous system actually work:

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): To help you break the cycle of chronic worry, mental loop-thinking, and OCD.

EMDR and Brainspotting: Specialized, brain-body modalities to help process stress, reduce anxiety, and release the pressure of academic perfectionism.

My Approach
My style is warm and collaborative. I understand the unique high-pressure environments of schools and I design our sessions to give you practical, real-world tools.

Format: 100% Telehealth (secure video sessions anywhere in California)

Let's help you find some relief and get back to feeling like yourself. Reach out today for a free, low-pressure consultation call.
