KASSANDRA PETR, LMFT-Associate
Attachment-Based Relational Therapist
I’m a therapist trained in family systems, and I know that understanding alone isn’t enough to create lasting change.
- Are you having the same arguments over and over again?
- Wondering why your kids don’t listen?
- Or how to repair things with an adult child before it’s too late?
I understand how heavy it feels when everyone’s trying their best, but nothing seems to change. My sessions help families see that no one person is the problem. It’s the patterns between us that keep everyone stuck.

I understand how heavy it feels when everyone’s trying their best, but nothing seems to change. My sessions help families see that no one person is the problem. It’s the patterns between us that keep everyone stuck.
Families Come To Me When:
- Kids are disrespectful
- Parents feel like they’re failing
- The same argument keeps coming up
- Home feels tense or chaotic
- Adult children are distant
- Everyone’s walking on eggshells
- You’re longing to feel close again
When connection breaks down, family life feels chaotic. When we shift even one part of the system, the whole family starts to move toward balance again.
Even when the family feels far off track, change is always possible.
It’s time to nurture the relationships that matter mostHow Family Therapy With Me Works:
As a relational therapist, I support families in rebuilding emotional closeness and healing patterns that have carried through generations. In sessions together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the conflict, slow down escalation patterns, and practice new ways to connect.
You won’t just talk about change, you’ll experience it in the room together.
Stay connected during conflict
Share feelings openly
Navigate Life Transitions
Strengthen Family Bonds
My Therapy Approach
Family therapy with me is experiential. We’ll use the following modalities to help your body feel safety and calm connection.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Helps families identify reactive patterns and unmet attachment needs; restores emotional safety and connection.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Helps each family member understand their own protective parts; reduces defensiveness and increases compassion.
Systems Based
Looks at the whole family as an interconnected ecosystem; small changes bring the entire system back into alignment.
By exploring the root of our connections, we can identify recurring cycles and find new ways to communicate and relate that support growth and healing.
HOW FAMILY THERAPY MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Calmer conversations
More peaceful home life
Parents feel confident again
Fewer power struggles
Kids open up and feel heard
Conflict feels manageable
Stronger relationships across generations

Hi, I'm Kassandra!
I am passionate about healthy relationships.
My background and training have always been relationship-focused. I completed my original family therapy training at UT Southwestern in Dallas, and I’ve spent my career helping families strengthen connection, reduce conflict, and find steadiness together.
Therapy with me is calm but direct. I’ll name what I see with care and clarity, and we’ll practice new ways of relating right in the session.
When I’m not in session, I love cooking, woodworking, and spending a lot of time outdoors. If you’re ready to take the first step toward a more connected family, I’d be honored to meet you.

- Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFT-A), Texas
- Family Therapy Training, UT Southwestern, Dallas
- Advanced Trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
My availability: In-person therapy in Austin and online for Texas residents.
