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 currently training as a somatic therapist with the Innate Somatic Intelligence Trauma Therapy Approach (ISITTA) program.
My practice is eclectic and draws heavily from my training in Depth Psychology, Attachment Theory, Somatic Technologies, Parts Work, Plant Medicine, 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 Social Work Discourse can be found in the new “Queering Paradigms IV” textbook, published by Peter Lang Co, 2014.
