  • Founder and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (License # MH19486)

    Kasie (she/they) is the Founder of Radical & Restorative Therapy and, currently, the sole therapist at the practice. Kasie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with the state of Florida.

    Radical & Restorative Therapy grew out of Kasie’s personal and familial experience with mental illness, their unique interdisciplinary background, and their passion for social justice.

    Kasie whole-heartedly believes that people have the inner motivations and desires to heal emotional wounds and unconscious patterns. But, sometimes these motivations are blocked by internal and external factors. Therefore, Kasie serves as a guide and resource to bring those inner motivations forward as assistants in breaking down the blockage created by those inner and external factors.

    As mentioned, Kasie’s educational background plays a significant role in her overall therapeutic and ideological approach. Specifically, Kasie has a Master’s of Art in Women’s and Gender Studies with a specialization in Public Health and a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Considering this, Kasie integrates into their therapeutic approach how systems of oppression and privilege shape our lived experiences, our ways of knowing, our ways of living, our access to quality care, and our experiences with trauma.

    As a mental health counselor, Kasie adopts an integrative method that includes trauma-informed therapies, person-centered therapies, cognitive behavioral therapies, humanistic theories, mindfulness, feminist and queer theories, and transpersonal therapies. Kasie is also certified in Hypnosis.

    Kasie is an adamant supporter and active participant in anti-oppressive work. Radical & Restorative Therapy and Kasie welcome people from all intersecting identities. As a queer person with serious mental illness, Kasie created this space with the thought of “for us, by us” in mind, and we are happy to answer any of your questions along the way.
