Cassidy Pavelich — Aligned Counseling & Consulting

Hi, I’m Cassidy

I deeply believe we aren’t meant to navigate the hard things alone!
I’m passionate about providing a space where you feel safe enough to be yourself. I love supporting humans who might be navigating low self-esteem, identity questions, major life changes, trauma, or the pressure to be everything for everyone. If you’ve spent a lot of time putting yourself last or wondering who you’re “supposed” to be, then you’re in the right place.
I specialize in using EMDR therapy to help you move beyond just coping and actually heal the patterns that keep you stuck. I bring a down-to-earth and nonjudgmental approach to therapy & I would love to chat more about what support could look like for you!

My Specialties

How can I best support you?

This is a place to explore who you are, not who you’re supposed to be.

So much of life teaches us to shape ourselves around other people’s needs, roles, and expectations until it becomes hard to tell what actually feels true for us. Therapy offers space to slow that down and reconnect with your own voice, values, and sense of self.

If something inside you feels unsettled, disconnected, or unsure, that matters. Maybe it shows up as self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, or the sense that you’re constantly performing instead of living. Together, we gently explore what’s underneath those patterns, build trust with yourself, and create room for healing and growth.

“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.”

— Brené Brown

EMDR helps to heal the negative beliefs about yourself that may have been shaped by past experiences. When those experiences are no longer driving how you see yourself, your brain can adapt to become less self-critical and more comfortable being who you are!
I would describe my therapy style as warm and nonjudgmental. I aim to create a space where you feel accepted as you are, while still feeling encouraged to grow and make meaningful changes. Your comfortability in the therapy room is my priority!
