Professional statement

Cassandra Goar, LPC, is a compassionate and skilled trauma and grief therapist based in Denver, Colorado. She specializes in helping adults and couples heal from childhood trauma and its ongoing effects. Whether clients struggle with forming healthy relationships, battling negative self-talk, or experiencing physical symptoms like anxiety or hypervigilance, Cassandra provides a warm, safe space to explore these challenges. She is particularly passionate about supporting high-functioning professionals who may seem to have it all together, yet feel overwhelmed and disconnected inside.

Cassandra uses a combination of trauma-focused approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help clients heal. IFS helps clients identify and integrate different parts of themselves, while EMDR reprocesses painful memories and shifts the negative beliefs tied to trauma. By fostering a collaborative, client-centered environment, Cassandra empowers clients to build healthier relationships with themselves and others, supporting them as they grow, heal, and transform.

Her therapeutic style is compassionate, non-judgmental, and strength-based. She creates a space where clients feel heard, validated, and respected, helping them explore difficult emotions at their own pace. When working with new clients, Cassandra takes time to build trust, understand their unique goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan that honors their journey.

With a Master’s degree in Counseling from Regis University and extensive experience in grief support and mental health, Cassandra is committed to guiding clients through some of life’s most difficult challenges. Outside of her practice, she enjoys meditation, spending time with her family, and continuing her own personal and professional growth.


Message to clients

I want you to know that every part of you is worthy of respect and love, even the parts you might feel ashamed of or try to hide. Those parts, the ones you may feel uncomfortable sharing with others, are safe with me. My goal is to help you create a space where those parts can feel known, understood, and eventually loved by you. Together, we’ll work on building a deeper connection with yourself, fostering more compassion, and helping you create safer, more supportive relationships with others. I want you to feel truly successful, not just appear that way. True success comes from having healthy, nurturing relationships with others and a deep, loving connection with yourself.

Childhood trauma doesn’t just disappear but I believe healing and transformation are possible. Together, we can reprocess the pain of your past, work through the emotional wounds, and help you grow into the healthy, thriving adult you deserve to be.

I’ve worked with clients who’ve experienced various forms of trauma—physical and sexual abuse, emotional neglect, and everything in between. Whether it’s the parent who came home enraged or the one who was too distant, whether you were the child who never spoke up or the one who spoke and wasn’t heard—your experience matters, and your healing matters. I’m here to help you process, heal, and move forward in a way that allows you to live the life you truly deserve.
