My name is Cassie Cady, and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor in Arizona with a passion for helping individuals find healing, freedom, and transformation. I work under the direct supervision of Kim Van Wuffen, MS, LPC, CCTS CCTSS, BHCC, PLLC who is an approved Clinical Supervisor through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners.
My journey into the field of counseling began with a deep desire to walk alongside others in their darkest moments and help them discover the light within. I obtained my Master's Degree in Counseling from Phoenix Seminary, where I was equipped with the knowledge and skills to provide compassionate and effective care to those in need.
In addition to my formal education, I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful therapeutic approach used to treat trauma and other distressing symptoms. EMDR has been a game-changer in my practice, allowing me to witness profound healing and transformation in my clients.
As a Christian counselor, I am deeply committed to integrating faith and psychology in my work. I believe that true healing comes from addressing the spiritual, emotional, and relational aspects of our lives, and I am honored to walk alongside my clients as they explore their faith and journey towards wholeness.
Outside of my work as a counselor, I am a devoted wife, mother, and follower of Christ. My own experiences of healing and growth have shaped my approach to counseling, and I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where individuals can feel seen, heard, and valued.
Thank you for considering me as a partner on your journey towards healing and freedom. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you in reaching your goals.
Welcome to Lockheart Christian Counseling, where the name is more than just a title—it's a symbol of our commitment to guiding individuals towards healing and freedom.
The name "Lockheart" embodies the idea of unlocking the heart, allowing healing and transformation to take place. Just as a lock secures and protects what is valuable, our hearts can sometimes become guarded, shielding us from pain but also preventing us from experiencing true freedom and joy. At Lockheart Christian Counseling, we believe in gently unlocking those barriers, inviting our clients to explore their deepest emotions and experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
The heart in our logo represents the seat of emotions, vulnerability, and connection—the very essence of what it means to be human. Combined with the imagery of a lock and key, it symbolizes the journey towards unlocking the potential for healing and restoration within each individual.
Our counseling practice is rooted in Christian principles, emphasizing the transformative power of faith, hope, and love. While our approach is informed by our Christian values, we welcome individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life, recognizing the inherent worth and dignity of each person we serve.
At Lockheart Christian Counseling, our name reflects our mission to help individuals find freedom from past wounds, discover inner peace, and embark on a journey towards wholeness. We invite you to join us on this journey of healing and transformation.
Our mission is to provide accessible and high-quality counseling services to all individuals seeking support and guidance on their journey towards healing and freedom.
The fee for each 50-minute counseling session is $150. We believe in transparent pricing and strive to make our services affordable for our clients. We understand that financial concerns should never be a barrier to receiving the support you need, so we offer a limited number of sliding scale slots based on financial need. Please don't hesitate to discuss your financial situation with us, as we are committed to finding a solution that works for you. Additionally, we accept payment through various methods, including cash, check, and major credit cards, to provide convenience and flexibility for our clients.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a highly effective therapeutic approach used to treat trauma, anxiety, phobias, and other distressing symptoms. Developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR has since gained widespread recognition and acceptance as an evidence-based treatment for a variety of mental health concerns.
EMDR therapy is based on the idea that traumatic experiences can become "stuck" in the brain, leading to ongoing distress and symptoms. By engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, taps, or sounds, EMDR helps to facilitate the brain's natural healing process, allowing traumatic memories to be processed and integrated more effectively.
During an EMDR session, clients are guided by a trained therapist to recall distressing memories while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation. This process helps to desensitize the emotional intensity associated with the memory and reprocess it in a way that promotes healing and resolution.
EMDR is not just about talking about the traumatic event; instead, it focuses on accessing and processing the memories on a deeper level, leading to profound and lasting changes in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. EMDR therapy is often described as empowering and transformative, offering clients a path towards healing and recovery from past traumas.
As a certified EMDR therapist, I am dedicated to utilizing this powerful therapeutic approach to help my clients find relief from their symptoms and achieve greater emotional well-being. If you have experienced trauma or are struggling with anxiety, EMDR therapy may be a valuable tool in your healing journey. Please feel free to reach out to learn more about how EMDR can benefit you.
