Hi, my name is Cassidy and I am the owner of Ampersand Way, PLLC. I am a licensed mental health and substance use counselor in both North Carolina (LCMHC & LCAS) and Texas (AADC & LPC). I support young adults who feel stretched thin to understand what’s driving the overwhelm and build a steadier, more grounded way of moving through life.

See How I Can Help

You may have found yourself here if…

  • You’re constantly “on,” juggling work, relationships, and responsibilities — and still feeling like you’re not doing enough.

  • You struggle to slow down or rest without guilt, even when you’re exhausted.

  • You’re thoughtful and dependable, and your own needs often come last.

  • You can offer compassion and grace to everyone but yourself.

  • You overthink decisions, replay conversations, and second-guess yourself.

  • You care deeply about doing things right — yet it’s hard to feel proud or confident.

  • You feel burnt out and the idea of making changes almost feels more uncomfortable than the current discomfort you are stuck in.

  • You’re feeling disconnected from yourself and craving a stronger sense of balance and peace.

  • You are starting to feel out of control and/or lost within yourself.

  • You find yourself feeling resentment towards your loved ones that can lead to angry outbursts.

  • You try to take the edge off or disconnect from all the pressure through substances that has led to a pattern you are not proud of.

  • You’ve outgrown old coping patterns (like overworking, people-pleasing, or numbing) and are ready for something different.

  • You want to feel grounded and present instead of stretched thin and anxious.
