Dr. Cassidy Freitas is a licensed marriage and family therapist, podcast host of Holding Space, and author of Mom Needs a Moment. She helps parents understand their triggers, calm their nervous systems, and respond with intention instead of reactivity. Through her therapy practice, writing, and speaking, she blends attachment science with practical, compassionate tools to support cycle-breaking, repair after hard moments, and deeper connection in everyday family life. She lives in California with her husband and three children, where she is continually humbled and shaped by the messy, meaningful work of raising humans.
