Hi, I'm Cassie (Cassandra), a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience in mental health care.

I believe mental health treatment should feel supportive, collaborative, and free of judgment. Every person has a unique story, and I take the time to listen, understand your goals, and create a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, burnout, sleep concerns, and other common mental health conditions. Through thoughtful psychiatric evaluation and medication management, my goal is to help you find clarity, restore balance, and move forward with confidence.

Whether you are seeking support for the first time or looking for a fresh approach to your mental health care, I strive to provide a comfortable and welcoming space where you feel heard, respected, and supported.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward improved mental wellness and helping you build the tools needed to thrive in everyday life.

Almog Shanun

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Monrovia, CA


  • I believe therapy is one of the greatest gifts that we can give to ourselves. It is an opportunity to explore and learn about the mysteries of our inner self. When I am working with a client both of us discover a vast new world that waits to unfold. I studied at Pacifica Graduate Institute, a graduate school dedicated to discovering the inner contents of the self and the secrets of the archetypes of our humanity. I believe in working with my clients face to face, together, by sharing a journey in order to learn about the hardships of today while gaining knowledge about past and present experiences. I believe in and encourage my client’s strength and ability to solve their own problems and become the healers of their own wounds. I work as a guide and as a fellow traveler in your journey toward self discovery. With every step we take toward discovery, I work hand in hand with my clients, letting them lead in finding the sources of their suffering and their capability to heal them. Treatment Modalities: Person Centered Therapy, Post Jungian, Family Systems, Trauma Theory, Sex Therapy, and working within the Feminine Principle. I work with LGBTQ community and with all kind of diversity. At Eye Of The Storm counseling I specialize with Adolescents, Adults, Relationships, Individuation, Immigration, Life Changes, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Sexual Issues, Personal Growth and Development, Life Style issues, and Court referrals.

Andra Moldav

Andra Moldav

Therapist

Virtual • California


My name is Andra, and I work with people who feel stuck inside anxiety, depression, trauma, or the weight of complicated relationships. I trained at Antioch University and spent years doing community mental health work, which means I've sat with a wide range of human struggle before ever stepping into private practice. Before therapy, I worked in creative fields, and I bring that into the room: a willingness to look at things sideways, some humor when it fits, and a habit of finding the thing underneath the thing. I'm also an immigrant, and have worked with first-generation and immigrant clients navigating the particular weight of living between cultures: the grief, the loyalty binds, the parts of yourself that don't translate.

Therapist

Life can be inherently stressful. We often feel trapped by our own circumstances, voiceless in our relationships and powerless to significant change in our lives. We even convince ourselves that if we just wait a little while longer, the problem might go away. Well first let me start by saying that, therapy is best sought when we realize and acknowledge that we are struggling. I have experience working in a variety of settings with individuals, couples, and families with various demographics.
