Meet Cassidy Now Scheduling New Clients

Hi I’m Cassidy Macygin, a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern from Midwestern State University under the supervision of Mary Amanda Trost, M.Ed., LPC. My focus is  supporting individuals  experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions and relationship
changes and am passionate about creating a supportive, welcoming space where people can feel safe to explore, grow, and heal.

My therapy approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and holistic. I like to look at the whole picture of someone’s life and meet them with compassion, honesty, humor, and genuine curiosity. I know everyone brings their own story and struggles into the room, and I’m here to offer a nonjudgmental space where clients can show up exactly as they are. Having been a therapy client myself, I understand how powerful it is to feel truly heard and supported, and that experience is a big part of what led me here.

 

I work with adolescents and adults navigating stress, anxiety, family conflict, life changes, self-esteem issues, communication struggles, and identity exploration. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about the next step, or just interested in getting to know yourself better, therapy can help you reconnect with your values and sense of self.

 

Before entering the counseling field, I spent more than ten years in leadership and professional roles, developing skills in empathy, active listening, and cross-cultural communication. That experience taught me how to build trust and connect with people from all walks of life – skills I bring into every session.

 

Outside the therapy room, I’m a proud dog mom, love puzzles, and stand-up comedy. I can usually be found listening to a podcast, especially about personal growth, pet nutrition and wellness, or holistic healing. I am extremely honored to begin this journey alongside my clients as they navigate life and grow into more connected, authentic versions of themselves
