I believe in partnering with you in dealing with your most treasured relationship and to help you identify your true needs and wants in relationship by beginning with your relationship with yourself and then identifying what you would like from your partner or spouse.
We explore client focused therapy, solution focused approach, motivational approaches in therapy and goal centered interaction
I value the client therapist relationship as sacred and I believe in honesty and being transparent and compassionate. Each therapeutic relationship is unique and demands a tailored approach to meet the needs of those being served. I believe in the importance of working together with you towards your goals. I am an active listener and approach the therapeutic alliance with sensitivity and kindness.
I have a Masters Degree in Social Work and I am a licensed Clinician. I also have a Masters Degree in Education, and I have some teaching experience as well. My professional experiences have equipped me well to help meet the needs of all those I have had the pleasure of serving.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mary Cassandra Foster. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
We've been involved in marital counseling in the past, but working with Cassandra has given us hope that restoration is possible. We are looking forward to our next session.
Thank you
Mary Cassandra is amazing! She has been so helpful and supportive during our marital challenges. She is very clear, calm and insightful at having everyone involved understand what is working and what we need to continue working on. I truly appreciated all of our sessions!
She’s great! She listens but encourages full participation from me and my husband. She also keeps us accountable
