Cassandra Golden Kruse, LISW

Cassandra Golden Kruse brings a compassionate, seasoned perspective to therapeutic work, guided by a clear devotion to helping people reclaim peace and joy in their lives. With 30 years of experience and the credential LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker), she offers a flexible, holistic approach that resists a one-size-fits-all model and instead adapts to each individual’s values and strengths.

Kruse invites people to examine their core beliefs, identify personal strengths, and clarify priorities so they can design a life that reflects what matters most. Her work emphasizes practical skill building and supportive collaboration, helping clients recognize patterns that block progress and developing real strategies to move past them. Time is treated as a precious resource, and the therapeutic process is framed as a purposeful season of change and growth.

Cassandra values relational connection and the dignity of each person she meets. She approaches therapy as a shared journey of discovery, attentive to vulnerabilities and attentive to the development of ongoing supports where needed. Her aim is to help people savor forward movement, transform obstacles into opportunities for learning, and shape lives that feel more fulfilling and authentic.

Viewed as an honored companion in the work of change, Kruse combines respect for individual self-determination with a belief in the power of healthy relationships. She welcomes the chance to explore possibilities with those who seek a thoughtful, relationally oriented path toward greater well-being.
