Cassie Benak

Welcome to Rosebud Mental Health Services, my name is Cassie and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a licensed therapist with a deep passion for walking alongside individuals as they navigate some of life’s most tender and challenging seasons. My practice is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and the belief that healing happens when we feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, infertility, and school-related behavioral concerns. My clinical approach is evidence-based and trauma-informed, shaped by years of experience—and also by my own personal journey. My path into this work was born not just from professional calling, but from lived experiences. These personal experiences have given me a deeper understanding of grief, resilience, and the power of being held in a space where no emotion is too heavy or too complicated. Alongside my training, I hold specialized certifications in grief work, with a particular focus on perinatal and reproductive loss. I bring that knowledge, along with deep empathy, into every session. Whether you're navigating overwhelming emotions, feeling stuck, or simply looking for a place to exhale and explore what healing might look like for you, my goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where your story matters—and where growth, however slow or subtle, is always possible. I hold two master’s degrees—one in Clinical Counseling and another in School Counseling—which have given me the tools to address a wide range of challenges. My expertise includes working with adolescents navigating anxiety, school avoidance, and the complexities of their developmental journey. Through a combination of behavioral consultation and personalized strategies, I strive to empower young individuals to regain confidence and resilience. In addition to my counseling background, I am a certified restorative practices trainer, specializing in conflict resolution and fostering healthy communication. Whether you are seeking support for interpersonal challenges, family dynamics, or personal growth, I bring a wealth of skills to guide you through even the most difficult conversations and situations. No matter where you are on your journey, I am here to walk alongside you with understanding and support. Let’s work together to create the change you seek and the peace you deserve.
