Caci Tassano

I work with the LGBTQI community to heal from the wounds resulting from the harm that stereo types and a lack of acceptance from the cisgendered, heteronormative society can bring. I offer a safe queer positive environment for both cisgender and non-binary members of the LGBTQI community. In sessions we can work together with tools such as mindfulness to aide in managing stress as well as; strategizing how to prioritize self and self-care through work/life balance practices to better maintain longevity in demanding healthcare field. Using IFS ( Internal Family Systems); I work with male survivors of sexual abuse and trauma whom are seeking to reclaim their sense of self; self advocacy and to reclaim control over their lives and to learn coping skills to outgrow and move beyond the trauma of the abuse. Let’s work together in session to identify what triggers of your anxiety and the feelings that come with the fear to help you and your body learn that you can experience anxiety and gain skills to calm back down. One of my favorite ways to practice this in and outside of sessions is with mindfulness practices that not only engage the mind but both the mind and body simultaneously. We can “work out” your neurology the same way we would train muscles in the gym, to be stronger and more resilient through practice and exercise.
