About Me

Licensed Professional Counselor

My name is Cassandra Clinton, and I bring over 30 years of experience working with disadvantaged populations and more than 15 years as a counseling professional. I hold a B.A. in Criminal Justice from New Jersey City University and earned my M.A. in Counseling from Capella University in 2012.

As both a professional and a parent of a 37-year-old moderately autistic son, I have a unique perspective and deep understanding of the challenges families and caregivers face. This personal experience has strengthened my commitment to supporting individuals, parents, and caregivers as they navigate complex circumstances with compassion and resilience.

I am certified as a New Jersey School Counselor and a Student Assistance Coordinator (SAC) with the State of New Jersey.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches to help clients gain greater self-awareness, improve coping strategies, and recognize the vital role mental health plays in fostering healthy relationships and daily well-being.

What you can expect from our first session

At Unique Journey Counseling Services, clients can expect a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they feel heard and understood. My goal is to meet each person where they are and work collaboratively to build healthier coping strategies, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness.

Guidance for healing and resilience

At Unique Journey Counseling Services, our mission is to empower individuals, families, and communities through confidential, compassionate, and transformative counseling. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, we help clients gain deeper insight into themselves and the critical role mental health plays in their relationships and daily lives. We provide a safe and supportive environment where clients feel seen, heard, and valued — a space where they can express themselves freely and rediscover their sense of worth. In addition to therapy, we offer access to helpful resources, referrals, and practical self-help strategies designed to strengthen not just the individual, but the family unit as a whole.
