Cassie Carstens het ʼn Ph.D. in chemie en is ʼn senior navorsingsbestuurder in ʼn kernenergie organisasie.

Hy kwalifiseer as pastorale narratiewe terapeut in 2004 na studie by die Coram Deo Pastorale Sentrum, waar hy sedertdien as aktiewe terapeut inskakel en op weeksaande vanaf 19:00 beskikbaar is.

Voortgesette opleiding is vir Cassie van groot belang en daarom woon hy gereeld kursusse by wat deur Coram Deo aangebied word asook gevorderde kursusse wat deur David Epston en Stephen Madigan in Suid-Afrika aangebied word.

Sy hoofbelangstelling is huweliksterapie, waarbinne sy benadering sterk beïnvloed is deur sy pastorale narratiewe agtergrond en verder verryk word deur die benaderings van John Gottman, Michele Weiner-Davis en Sue Johnson (Hold me tight).

Cassie het ook ʼn besondere belangstelling in breinchemie, spesifiek chemiese wanbalanse wat aanleiding gee tot gemoedsversteurings soos depressie. Sy benadering is holisties en sluit na terapie ook oefening, oordenking en gesonde eetgewoontes en aanvullings in.

Hy is ʼn volgeling van Jesus en kies om positief te investeer in die lewens van mense.
