Cassie Peterson (they/them) is a licensed psychotherapist, and a feeler/healer/believer based in New York City. I am a graduate of Smith College School for Social Work and of the Stephen A. Mitchell Center for Relational Studies, a contemporary psychoanalytic program in NYC. I am also trained as a somatic therapist through the Innate Somatic Intelligence Trauma Therapy Approach (ISITTA) program, as well as being initiated as a medicine carrier by the Mahua-Lopez family lineage of the Shipibo-Conibo Plant Medicine tradition of Peru.

My practice is eclectic and draws heavily from my training in Depth Psychology, Attachment Theory, Somatic Technologies, Parts Work, Plant Medicine/Curanderismo, Jungian Dream Interpretation, Tibetan Buddhism, Polymorphic Listening Strategies, Nervous System Resourcing, and Shamanic Journeying.

Additionally, I am a published writer and researcher, primarily working to integrate alternative epistemologies into contemporary clinical discourses. My most recent paper, Bloodless and Lawless: Queering “Family” in Clinical Discourse can be found in the “Queering Paradigms IV” textbook, published by Peter Lang Co, 2014.
