About Dr. Kassandra Cerda, Psy.D.

I am a Licensed Psychologist providing psychotherapy services in New York. I specialize in working with young adults and adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, unresolved childhood trauma or grief, and challenges in school, work, or relationships. I offer a warm, supportive, and actively engaged presence so you can truly feel heard, seen, and understood. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are. Together, we’ll work through life’s difficulties with compassion and curiosity.

I believe that meaningful therapy starts with a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. Through deep listening and a spirit of curiosity, I gently help you notice patterns. I gently help you notice patterns and themes that may be shaping your experiences. As we explore these together, you can begin to let go of old habits and move toward positive change.
