CASSIDY RUCKER

As your counselor, Cassidy focuses on creating a warm and trusted environment. With this foundation she will lead you in working together to bring growth and change in your life. Her hope for counseling is that it will produce in each person an alignment with God’s design that will bring true freedom and health no matter what challenges you are facing.

Cassidy draws from a model of therapy known as “Christian Psychology” which converges clinical psychology, theology and philosophy, along with spiritual formation and soul-care into therapeutic treatment that begins with a Christian worldview. She seeks to address underlying patterns that cause division in how we’re living and what we value most. She takes a holistic perspective seeing that our mental/emotional wellbeing is tied with our physical health and our spiritual formation.

She specializes in helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, spiritual growth, grief, adoption, and many other issues.
