About Therapy With Me
Families deserve support.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Interwoven. This work is deeply personal to me. I created this practice because I believe families deserve support that is steady, accessible, and truly aligned with the emotional realities of co-parenting.
Over the years, I’ve sat with countless parents who are exhausted from conflict, overwhelmed by change, and trying their best to provide their children with something stable in the midst of uncertainty.
I know what it looks like when communication breaks down, when old patterns take over, and when emotions overwhelm intentions. And I also know how powerful it is when parents learn to pause, regulate, and respond differently.
My approach is both structured and human.
I pay attention to the emotional experiences underneath the conflict – the worry, the frustration, the fear of repeating the same dynamics – and I help parents build the tools to shift those patterns.
We create boundaries that feel grounding, communication that feels manageable, and a structure that supports the entire family system. I care deeply about helping children feel safe. Much of my work focuses on supporting parents in creating an environment where kids don’t have to absorb adult tension or navigate emotional crossfire.
When parents find steadiness, kids feel it. When parents communicate with clarity, kids relax. That is the heart of what I want for the families I work with.
I collaborate closely with attorneys, mediators, and child specialists to ensure families receive consistent and comprehensive support. I believe in bringing together the emotional, practical, and legal pieces so parents aren’t navigating this alone.
What I know is this:
A change in the family system does not require perfection. It requires awareness, willingness, and a commitment to showing up with intention – even when it’s difficult.
You don’t have to control everything, and you don’t have to carry everything. But you can change how you participate in the dynamic, and that change can transform everything around you.
If you’re seeking a calmer, more grounded way forward – one that honors your children, your values, and your capacity for growth – I’m here to help you build it with clarity, steadiness, and care.
About Casey Binstadt, LMFT
Why I Became a Therapist
I decided to become a therapist because I have always been deeply interested in relationship dynamics, family systems, and how people adapt during major life transitions. Over time, it became clear to me that divorce itself is not what harms families – unresolved conflict, poor boundaries, and unaddressed attachment wounds do.
In addition to my professional training, I bring lived experience to my work. I am divorced and have maintained a healthy, cooperative co-parenting relationship for over five years. I share two teenagers with my former spouse, and we continue to spend holidays together, communicate respectfully, and refer to one another as family.
This experience deeply informs my work. I understand firsthand that successful co-parenting is not about being “perfect” or conflict-free – it’s about repair, consistency, emotional maturity, and keeping children out of adult issues. My clients often appreciate working with someone who understands both the clinical and real-world realities of long-term co-parenting after divorce.
Education & Clinical Training
I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco, where my training emphasized family systems theory, attachment-based therapy, trauma-informed care, and relational psychodynamic approaches.
I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Economics with a concentration in Spanish from Boston College, which informs my understanding of structural stressors, cross-cultural family dynamics, and the practical realities parents face during divorce.
Earlier in my career, I worked as a Bilingual Childhood Trauma Program Therapist at Family Service Agency of Marin, supporting children and families impacted by trauma, crisis, and high-stress family systems. This experience continues to shape my work with divorced and separating families, particularly when children’s emotional well-being is at the center of decision-making.
My Approach: Mediation-Adjacent & Systems-Oriented
My work is often collaborative with mediators, attorneys, and other divorce professionals, helping parents regulate emotions, improve communication, and make decisions that align with their long-term family goals – rather than short-term wins.
My therapeutic style is direct, grounded, and family-systems focused. In mediation-adjacent co-parenting work, I help parents:
- Reduce emotional reactivity
- Identify and interrupt destructive conflict cycles
- Clarify roles and boundaries
- Strengthen parenting communication
- Shift from past grievances to future-focused decision-making
- Keep children emotionally protected and developmentally supported
I integrate family systems theory, attachment psychology, trauma-informed care, and practical co-parenting strategies to help families move forward with stability and respect.
