About Cashmere
I’m Cashmere, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and the founder of The Vigor Within Mental Health Counseling. I also have diagnostic privilege and recognized as a National Certified Counselor. My work is grounded in a unique blend of clinical expertise, real-world experience, and a deeply human approach to care. My professional background spans working with adults dually diagnosed with intellectual disabilities and mental health disorders, mental health counseling and years of leadership in child welfare, where I supported individuals and families through complex emotional, systemic, and life challenges. This experience allows me to understand the full picture—your environment, identity, and lived experiences—and how they shape your current reality.
I also bring extensive experience navigating family court systems and working within child welfare frameworks. I understand the emotional and systemic complexities individuals and families face when involved in legal processes. I provide clinically sound, comprehensive assessments—including family assessment and immigration assessments—and support clients in preparing for and navigating these systems with clarity and confidence. Through this work, I’ve seen firsthand how systemic challenges, trauma, and everyday stressors impact mental health. My experience as a school counselor has expanded my clinical knowledge and strengthened my understanding of how academic, social, emotional and environmental factors influence mental health and overall well-being of children and adolescents as they become adults. These experiences ultimately led me to create The Vigor Within—a space dedicated to meaningful healing and empowered growth.
My therapeutic approach is intentional, structured, and insight-driven. I utilize evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and person-centered (Rogerian) therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful patterns, beliefs, and behaviors. My work is rooted in professionalism, objectivity, advocacy, and a strong commitment to ethical, culturally responsive care.
Together, we explore not only what you’re experiencing—but why—and develop a clear, actionable path forward. In our work together, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment while also engaging in honest, direct conversations that challenge you to grow. Therapy with me is collaborative, empowering, and focused on helping you reconnect with your authentic self and build a life aligned with your values.
I am especially passionate about supporting individuals who:
- Feel stuck despite being successful
- Struggle with identity, purpose, or life direction
- Are navigating stress, burnout, or emotional overwhelm
- Are involved in or impacted by family or court-related systems
- Want deeper self-awareness, confidence, and alignment
- Are ready to do the work—not just talk about it
This is your space to heal, grow, and find the Vigor Within!
