Cassandra DesJardine

Registered Social Worker

I am a registered social worker/psychotherapist with over 21 years of experience helping individuals and families affected by mental health issues. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders/disordered eating, body-image concerns, anxiety and mood issues; working with youth (13+), adults and parents/caregivers.

About Me

I help individuals and families navigate the complexities of eating disorders, body image, anxiety, and mood issues. My approach draws on over 21 years of experience. I offer a collaborative space where we can explore challenges together. My work with youth (13+), adults, and parents/caregivers means I can offer tailored support. You’ll find a seasoned, compassionate professional ready to guide your journey towards well-being.

Approach

We turn worries about food, body and mood into clear, manageable goals shaped by your priorities and pace. Sessions in Owen Sound or online, conducted in English, balance focused assessment with practical skill-building and gentle tracking between meetings. Expect a mix of curious questions, short experiments to try at home, and collaborative problem-solving that brings caregivers in when helpful. This way of working often suits teens, adults and parents looking for steady, practical progress and clearer day-to-day choices.
