Compassionate Therapy for Children, Teens, and Adults
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.”
Hi, I’m Kassidy!
Welcome! I’m Kassidy Butterworth, but you can also call me Kassie. As a licensed therapist and registered art therapist, I provide a warm, intuitive, and collaborative space for healing. I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, relationship dynamics, stress, and trauma recovery, working with children, teens, and adults - especially those who feel like the 'black sheep' seeking to reclaim their narrative and break intergenerational patterns. My approach is person-centered, somatic, and trauma-informed, with a touch of humor along the way.
How I Can Help
Anxiety & Stress
When worry takes up too much space, keeping kids/teens up at night, making school feel overwhelming, or turning small things into big fears, therapy can help. Together we work on understanding what anxiety is trying to say and building the tools to feel calm and confident again.
Art Therapy
Not every feeling has words, and that's exactly where art therapy comes in. Using creative tools like drawing, painting, collage, and sand tray, we access what's hard to say out loud and give it a place to land. You don't need to be artistic. You just need to be open. The process of creating is where the healing happens.
Self-Esteem and Confidence
I work with kids and teens who struggle with self-doubt, harsh inner critics, and the feeling that they're just not enough - helping them reconnect with their strengths and learn to trust themselves.
Big Emotions and Emotional Regulation
Some children and teens feel everything deeply, and haven't yet found the words or tools to express it. I work with kids who are learning to understand their inner emotional world, name what they're feeling, and find healthy ways to move through difficult emotions without shutting down or getting stuck.
Life Transitions
Starting a new school, navigating a family change, moving, or simply growing up: transitions can bring out big feelings even when the change is a good one. I help children and teens find their footing when the ground shifts beneath them.
Trauma Recovery
Hard things happen, and sometimes they leave a mark that doesn't go away on its own. I work with children and teens who are carrying the weight of difficult experiences, helping them process what happened, feel safe again, and move forward.
