Biography
Hi, my name is Casey Scafella, M.S., LPC, NCC, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have been with RBMH since 2018. In my training and throughout my career, I had many opportunities to treat individuals, couples, and families through trauma-informed care. It has been my honor, distinction, pride, and joy to work with those impacted by trauma and to create safe spaces for the people I serve to work through ways in which their past experiences have impacted them and influence their views of themselves, others, and the world. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) as well as being trained and approaching certification for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Generally, I follow a person-centered and strengths-based approach to treatment, because I believe no one knows someone better than themselves and a person’s unique experience of their thoughts and feelings can guide a healthy therapeutic response that is individualized to each person I work with.
Who is Casey?
One of my favorite hobbies is listening to and creating music along with spending time with loved ones and connecting with nature. I love my dog and I enjoy running. I enjoy painting and having opportunities to ground and center myself near any body of water.
About Therapy
I work from a person-centered, strengths-based approach. Recovery, to me, develops through support and improved self-worth and resilience. I especially enjoy working with trauma-impacted individuals of all ages and I love to see growth within different life stages. Currently, I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is the only empirically validated trauma therapy for children. My main interests are substance recovery, mind-body connections, and the neurological impacts of mental health disorders and experiences of trauma. I believe that the key to recovery is building empowerment and resilience. Recovery is a life-long process and responding to traumatic experiences can be achieved successfully through a person’s belief in their own ability to recover.
