After graduation, Casey continued her work with adolescents, spending five years doing clinical work with adolescents in a school setting. She then spent a year working at Manhattan College, supporting the growth and leadership of students there.

Casey then joined the Maria Droste Counseling Center in New York City as a clinician working with adults. Casey’s advocacy in in infertility, endometriosis, chronic illness, and pregnancy loss communities led her to work with clients who were struggling with these issues. Casey is known for her work linking the impacts of these physical challenges on mental health and emotional wellbeing.

In her clinical practice, Casey utilizes a strengths-based approach to support clients and integrates different therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy and mindfulness. Casey works with teens and adults who come to therapy for a variety of reasons. Anxiety, depression, grief, burn out, and relationship challenges all can have a significant impact on daily life. Casey offers tools to manage these feelings, while also providing a space to process trauma, set boundaries, and feel validated.

Individuals living with endometriosis, infertility and other chronic health challenges can feel like they are constantly living in a state of physical crisis. These issues often have a profound impact on not only their physical health, but almost every aspect of their social and emotional wellbeing, inhibiting their relationships and life goals and causing anxiety and depression. Counseling is a way to be supported through the stress, grief, and trauma that can come with these conditions. 

Casey has also worked with expert medical professionals, advocates, and global nonprofits in the endometriosis and infertility fields to improve access to care. She has collaborated with Endowhat, the Endometriosis Summit, the Sister-Girl Foundation, the Endometriosis Foundation of America, and EndoMarch, speaking about the mental health impact of endometriosis and infertility at their public events. She has had the pleasure of working with other nonprofits in the community, such as Endoqueer, Extrapelvic Not Rare, and had the honor of receiving EndoBlack’s Outstanding Ally award at their inaugural gala in 2022. Her documentary, “Endotruths: Impact of Endometriosis and Infertility on Mental Health,” was featured in the Unmentionables Film Festival in Harlem, New York.
