Kassandra “Kassy” Jimenez, AMFT (#161557), is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who works with teens, young adults, adults, and families. Kassy is passionate about helping people navigate difficult seasons of life while developing a better understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the goals they want to pursue. She believes that every person brings their own experiences and strengths into therapy and that counseling should be a place where those experiences can be explored without judgment.
Throughout her clinical experience, Kassy has worked with individuals and families in a variety of settings, including college environments, nonprofit organizations, the HIV community, and correctional facilities. Her work has exposed her to a wide range of life experiences and challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, family conflict, and difficulties with personal goals and life transitions. These experiences have strengthened her ability to connect with clients from different backgrounds and adapt her therapeutic approach to each individual's needs.
Kassy incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) into her work. She uses these approaches to help clients recognize patterns that may be holding them back, learn healthier ways to manage emotions and stress, improve communication and relationships, and identify realistic steps toward the future they want. Kassy views therapy as a partnership and works alongside her clients to identify what matters most to them and how they can move forward.
Kassy earned her Bachelor's degree in Psychology from San Diego State University and her Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and values the opportunity to provide culturally responsive care to the communities she serves.
Outside of her work as a therapist, Kassy enjoys staying active, working out, and spending time with her family. She recently discovered a love for running and completed her first 5K. She especially enjoys spending time with her niece and making memories with the people closest to her. Kassy brings genuine passion and dedication to her work and feels grateful for the opportunity to support people as they work through challenges, discover their strengths, and pursue the life they want for themselves.
