TJ Cassey, APCC
Now Accepting New Clients!!
Welcome!
Hello, my name is Tamaa Cassey, better known as TJ. I am a dedicated Associate Therapist at Inner Expansions. I see clients in California through virtual sessions using secure videoconferencing. My clients love the flexibility of virtual sessions!
My mission is to help individuals navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-compassion. Born and raised in the inner city, I have a deep, personal understanding of the trauma, isolation, and survival instincts that many face. As a person of color, I am particularly attuned to the unique struggles of marginalized communities and I strive to offer a therapeutic space that is inclusive, affirming, and transformative.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, support, and unconditional acceptance. Believing in the inherent worth of every individual, I try to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients are seen, heard, and validated. I have a keen ability to discern when someone needs support, and as such, I tailor each session to meet the specific needs of the client, recognizing that healing is a deeply personal and unique journey.
Specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I also employ normalization techniques to help clients understand that their reactions to life’s difficulties are common and that they are not alone in their experiences. This is combined with a high level of attentiveness and understanding, ensuring that each client feels deeply cared for and understood. My custom treatment plans are holistic, addressing not just the mental and emotional aspects, but also the physical and physiological components of well-being. This comprehensive approach ensures that clients are supported in every aspect of their lives.
I truly believe that we are more than the sum of our circumstances. With faith, intention, and dedicated work, I help clients unlock their potential, overcome their challenges, and embark on a path of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Through this process, I empower clients to find, love, and embrace their true selves, ultimately guiding them to a place of healing and wholeness.
