Welcome to McKenzie Casad's therapy practice, based in the beautiful state of Virginia. Our approach is deeply rooted in the understanding that individuals are encapsulated by relationships - created, shaped, affected, and healed by them. We hold the belief that communication - a harmonious exchange of energy and thoughts - is the backbone to healthy relationships. Towards that end, a firm basis of predictability and safety is a must for all conversations. At the heart of our work at Cypress Counseling, LLC, we specialize in fostering an environment of psychodynamic psychotherapy that caters to adults, couples, and families. Let us accompany you on your journey of self-exploration, ancient healing traditions, and shamanic influences.
Our dedication lies in creating an atmosphere that cultivates healing, growth, and empowerment through the mediums of clients’ selves, their interactions with each other, and their connection to nature. McKenzie Casad's approach is not only carefully crafted from years of scholastic studies and anecdotal experience, but is also heavily influenced by Buddhist meditation, shamanism, and herbalism, with a healthy dose of wilderness adventure. The focus is not confined to conventional therapy methods, as sessions can include techniques drawn from Myers Briggs, Enneagram, mindfulness, aromatherapy, dream work, EMDR, and shamanic astrology. The cornerstone of each therapy session centers on being fully present, building a strong therapeutic alliance, and addressing the clients' needs and therapy goals in a holistic way. We encourage you to embrace yourself with the same love and patience that you would extend to a cherished child. Thank you for your interest in our practice. We're looking forward to connecting with you soon.
