No private space to take a video therapy appointment?
Using AI as your therapist for these reasons?
For when you don't need a crisis line, but need someone to talk to quick, I'm here.

Not a crisis line,
not a weekly therapist –
something in between.
Crashing out? I got you.
With 10 years of crisis line experience, I support clients using in-the-moment strategies that are trauma-informed, nervous-system supportive, bodymind somatics, anti-oppressive, harm-reductive, safety-seeking, and relational repair oriented.
Using your already existing tool-kit, I act as your ally in re-orienting you towards center.
Return as often as you need, or try it out just once. No pressure, no judgement, no commitment.

Meet Cassandra
Social location: I am a queer, non-binary, mixed race, first generation (South-Asian-Italian), multiply disabled (ADHD, Chronic Pain, C-PTSD) survivor of familial and sexual violence.
Why Text Therapy?: With ten years working on and managing crisis lines like Toronto Rape Crisis Line, TMU’s Sexual Assault Line, and Stella’s Place Virtual Peer Support Chat, and as a user of crisis lines myself, I know both sides of good service via text, phone, and video.
My justice philosophies: I’m trained in anti-racism, disability justice, and non-carceral justice practices, including inventing poetic justice as a real justice-making healing experience via poetry & writing.
Arts-based practice: I am an multi-award winning spoken word and published poet featured in Canadian magazines and online various platforms. I bring this high level of creativity to support clients in making meaning of their stories and experiences and then find somatic grounding through movement.
