CASSIDY RUCKER

As your counselor, Cassidy focuses on creating a warm and comfortable environment for each person to feel known and understood. As a trusted foundation is built, she will bring you into the focused work of the counseling process, where you will work together to bring growth, change, and healing in your life and relationships. Her hope for counseling is that it will produce in each person’s life an alignment with God’s design that will bring true freedom and health no matter what challenges you are facing.

Throughout the counseling process we are often working to bring healing and change in areas where you have experienced pain and heartache. Cassidy’s foundation to understand how this process of growth happens is rooted in a Christian worldview. Cassidy draws from a model of therapy known as “Christian Psychology” which converges Christian theology and philosophy, spiritual formation and soul-care into psychotherapeutic treatment that starts with a Christian worldview.

Cassidy works with children (8+), adolescents, adult women, families, and couples. She specializes in helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, spiritual growth, grief, adoption, and many other issues. She specifically serves those struggling with faith-related challenges including doubt, confusion, apathy, guilt, perfectionism, people pleasing, etc. Cassidy also works with couples and families to increase healthy communication and cohesion within the family unit.

Cassidy is a wife (to Jon 😊) and the mother of two amazing kiddos! In her spare time she enjoys gardening, hiking, playing outside, spending time with friends and family, and reading a good Christian formation book.

Cassidy is a graduate of John Brown University and Licensed Professional Counselor in Arkansas and Missouri. She is co-founder of Vineyard Family Counseling.
