About

Greetings from Kentucky!
My name is Casey Coursey Castor and I am an LCSW with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training. I have been a therapist for over 8 years, working in inpatient hospital settings, intensive outpatient, and private practice. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work at Western Kentucky University. My experience includes working with individuals experiencing trauma, addiction issues (both behavioral addictions such as sex/gambling and substance), career challenges, and GAD. I have also worked with clients who are struggling to identify happiness and meaning in their world.

I would describe my therapeutic approach as empathetic- there is at times a fear when starting with a new therapist. There is fear of judgement, fear of saying the wrong thing. I want you to know that I am here for all of it- the good, bad, and the ugly. I come from a nonjudgmental response as we trudge the road to Happy Destiny together. With a history of working in addictions, I understand the importance of working with someone who will work towards holding us accountable while holding a place for empathy as well. I have received training over the years that has increased my experiences with using EMDR techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy Models.

My ultimate joy is helping folks overcome barriers that they otherwise thought were unbearable. One of my favorite sayings in regards to therapy is your therapist gets to be the one person in your life who does not have a say-so or opinion on the outcome of what you desire most. Our friends, spouses, family- they at times have a stake on our decisions and wants. As your therapist, my goal would be to get you to where you want, cheering you along as we witness your success, while coming from a place of empathy.
