Cassondra Macaione is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, and trauma. Cassondra works with adolescents and adults ranging from 16 to 65 – including families and couples – who are coping with major life transitions, relationship challenges, depression, and anxiety. She has worked with clients coping with complex trauma and assures her clients are equipped with exceptional tools to live a full and happy life.

Cassondra received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Northeastern University and a Masters Degree in Social Work from Boston University with a specialization in group work and trauma. Cassondra is a firm believer that therapy is a great opportunity to implement and highlight incremental changes in a client’s progress and focuses on the importance of looking at a client’s strengths rather than focusing on deficits and current stressors that clients may be experiencing in their relationships, work/school, and home lives.

Cassondra takes a client-centered approach to therapy and focuses on formulating specific goals and objectives and provides therapeutic counseling in accordance with such plans. Additionally, Cassondra utilizes a variety of psychological methods and techniques in the screening, assessment, and evaluation phases of treatment. Techniques include mindfulness, meditation, CBT, and DBT strategies to assist you in attaining your goals.

"As a queer-identified clinician who works with an eclectic style of specialities, I understand the importance of client-centered and affirming care to enhance one's overall sense of self and quality of life."

I enjoy the lack of rigidity of suggestions, it doesn't feel like my provider is following a script and my care feels very personalized.
