I’m interviewing the talented and brilliant, Dr. Casiddy Freitas. I was on her podcast last year and since then, we’ve been insta-friends, colleagues and we definitely share the same for you page on tiktok (if you follow her, you know what I mean!). If you don’t know her, Dr. Cassidy is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist offering virtual supportive therapy to parents in California. She's a mom to three and hosts the top-rated parenting podcast Holding Space. She has a special place in her heart for sensory sensitive kiddos, as she has two of her own and is married to a grown-up one too! You can learn more about her therapy practice at www.drcassidymft.com and you can connect with her on Instagram @drcassidy (www.instagram.com/drcassidy). You can find her podcast Holding Space here and on iTunes, Spotify, and Google Podcasts.
