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 curandero (medicine carrier) by the Mahua-Lopez family lineage of the Shipibo 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, 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.
