Hello and welcome! I’m Cassey Zagala, a graduate student at Northwestern University pursuing a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I earned my bachelor’s degree in both Psychology and Cognitive Science from UC Davis, where my passion for understanding the human experience really began to take shape.
As a counselor-in-training, my goal is to create not only a safe space, but also a brave space, where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and empowered. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and existential perspectives, and I bring empathy, authenticity, and active listening to every session. I'm here to walk alongside you as you explore your emotions, discover your inner strengths, cultivate meaningful change, and move toward growth and overall well-being.
