Taiya George

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


I became a graduate of Youngstown State University’s Mater of Social Work program while working full-time in mental health crisis intervention (think 9-8-8 hotline). Aside from crisis, I have several years of experience working with adults through individual work. I am a firm believer that all individuals deserve access to the care they need and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect by those who provide it. My therapeutic approach pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy.

Therapist

I'm Kassandra, a Licensed Independent Social Worker trained at Case Western Reserve

University. My clinical foundation was built doing crisis intervention and specialized

trauma work with survivors of sexual assault, child abuse, and sex trafficking before

I became independently licensed. That experience isn't a line on a resume. It's the reason

I can sit with the hardest things clients bring in without needing them to minimize,

manage, or explain themselves first. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults

individually and with couples. I'm explicitly LGBTQIA+-affirming and have experience

with transgender and identity-related concerns. I offer telehealth across Ohio and accept

insurance through Headway.
