KASSANDRA PETR, LMFT-Associate
Attachment-Based Relational Therapist
I have a deep passion for mother–daughter work because I’ve lived it myself.
I know how painful it is to feel unseen by someone you love, and how powerful it can be when you finally feel understood.
- You love each other, but connection is strained or complicated.
- You can’t talk without tension, or maybe you’ve gone quiet altogether.
- Often, one person reaches out wanting understanding, but unsure where to start.
My clinical training in family systems therapy helps me guide others through that same healing process with clarity and care.

Mothers and Daughters See Me When:
- They’re distant or estranged
- Conversations turn defensive
- Children feel responsible for parents’ emotions
- Labels are assigned
- Kids grew up too soon
- Boundaries are a challenge
- They want understanding and repair
Daughters often feel like they are never understood and they’ll never fully be seen for who they are. For many mothers, it can feel like no matter how hard they try, their efforts to connect fall short. Beneath the frustration is often the same longing to feel heard, accepted, and close again.
Healing is possible between mothers and daughters.
Rediscover the Relationship You’ve Always WantedWhat Mother-Daughter Therapy With Me Is Like
As a relational therapist who specializes in mother and daughter relationships, I will guide you toward emotional connection. Together, we’ll explore the experiences that shaped your relationship, uncover the patterns that keep you both guarded. We’ll look at what fuels the disconnection, name what’s been missing, and practice new ways of relating that make emotional safety possible.
This work isn’t about assigning blame. It’s about learning to lead with care, heal old wounds, and build a relationship that supports connection and trust across generations.
Feel Seen and Understood
Reconnect as a Team
Navigate Life Changes
Build Lasting Closeness
My Therapy Approach
My process allows both parent and adult child to feel known, understood, and connected again.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Builds emotional safety so hard topics can be discussed without shame or defensiveness.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Helps each person understand the protective parts that react in conflict; opens space for compassion.
Systems Based
Addresses the cross-generational and/or inherited patterns that influence both of you; creates lasting, family-wide repair.
Repair is possible, even when years of silence or misunderstanding have built up. You can build a relationship that feels honest, mutual, and safe.
CHANGES YOU'LL SEE AFTER THERAPY TOGETHER
Calmer, safer conversations
Less shutting down
Understanding + respect
Relief from guilt + blame
Reconnection without losing yourself
Healing that ripples into other relationships
Kassandra Petr, LMFT-Associate
Hi, I'm Kassandra!
I am passionate about healthy relationships.
I’ve spent much of my career helping mothers and daughters heal from emotional disconnection and find their way back to each other. My training at UT Southwestern focused on family systems and attachment, and my own lived experience gives me deep empathy for this work.
Therapy with me is steady and compassionate, but also active. We’ll talk honestly about what’s happening between you, and I’ll guide you toward new ways to listen, respond, and rebuild.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time outdoors, cooking, woodworking, and reading. If you’re ready to begin this healing work, I’d be honored to support you.
Education, Credentials, & Training:
- 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.
