Passionate about people and with a gift to see the absolute best in everyone, Cassiel harnesses his skills as a former Division I athlete to creatively and methodically motivate his clients to achieve mentally, physically and spiritually healthy and balanced lives. He has over 15 years of experience in youth leadership and development, substance abuse counseling, and mental health therapy. He is a team player, with an aptitude for establishing strong relationships with clients and community partners with a focus on helping everyone win. His success with clients have proven him to be a dedicated problem solver, helping hundreds of clients overcome barriers and achieve long-term behavior change. Cassiel received a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Wake Forest University (Go Deacs!) and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Liberty University. He is a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.  Outside of his counseling work, Cassiel loves traveling with his wife, spending time with his family, and working with his hands -- building, creating, fishing, cooking and playing with his two growing and very active sons.
