Amanda Cassil, PhD

Dr. Amanda Cassil (PSY26549) is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Pasadena, California. She founded STEM Psychological Services out of a passion for working with women and underrepresented groups in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math). She works primarily with early to mid career professionals around topics such as: navigating conflicting expectations, impostor syndrome, and work-life balance. She has experience treating anxiety, depression, and adult survivors of childhood abuse. Many people who work with Dr. Cassil identify as high achievers and as Highly Sensitive People (as defined by Dr. Elaine Aron). Dr. Cassil values diversity and the multiple roles that individuals must navigate in their occupational, social, and familial settings, and she invites her clients to explore these dimensions within therapy.

Dr. Cassil received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Fuller Graduate School in Pasadena. Dr. Cassil has worked in college counseling centers (including UC Riverside, Cal State Fullerton, Caltech, and Cal Poly Pomona) as a practicum trainee, intern, postdoctoral resident, and staff psychologist.

Dr. Cassil is the author of The Empowered Highly Sensitive Person: A Workbook to Harness your Strengths in Every Part of Life and The Self-Care Plan for the Highly Sensitive Person: 365 Days of Reflection, Calm, and Positivity. Both books are available anywhere books are sold online.
