Cassidy Lovallo, LGPC, NCC

When working with my clients, I love to use creativity, humor, and empathy in order to create a safe
and non-judgmental space where my clients can feel safe to be themselves and navigate their
problems- even during telehealth!
My Clinical Experience
I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health
Counseling at George Washington University, Washington, D.C. I am DBT trained by Dr.Alec Miller
on the Foundations of DBT for Adolescents and their families and am actively receiving training in
Child Centered Play Therapy under Stephanie Miller LCPC, RPT.

During my time in graduate school, I worked as a Registered Behavior Technician in the
DC/Maryland area for 3 years supporting children with autism in their homes and schools.
Since beginning my career in private practice, I have found fulfillment in working with children and
their families who have received a neurodiversity diagnosis, as well as families who struggle with
children who are experiencing big emotions, as well as young adults who are experiencing
significant change (college, moving, death in family, spiritual changes/abuse etc.)

I am a published researcher, with experience in analyzing social bias in education settings, and

the impact of religion in communities, recently trained in the foundations of deprogramming those

affected by mind control, high authority/high control groups and/or cults through Dr. Steve Hassan

and the Freedom of Mind Foundation.

What I do when I’m not counseling?
I love spending my time at home with my diabetic dog, Harvey, rewatching 2000’s reality tv/Degrassi
Next Generations or curled up with a thriller novel and an iced coffee. I can’t say I’m an outdoorsy
gal- but I love to attend spin classes and yoga sessions with friends when I can. Movement is a huge
part of my own emotion regulation and self care routine and something I often advocate to my
clients. I love to be creative and express myself through photography, art, and journaling. I’m a
forever learner and love to listen to video essays and podcasts, especially if they can make me
laugh!
