Introduction

I’m Kassie, I’m a queer, neurodivergent art therapist & substance abuse counselor providing outpatient services through Creative Alchemy Counseling in Chicago, Illinois. I see therapy as a space for transformation, as it can lead to change & be a conductor of healing. I envision therapy as a type of alchemy as it can be the transformation of oneself. Meaning we all hold the potential to be the alchemist of our own life, facilitate change, & transform ourselves.
