Cassidy Harrington, CASAC 2-G
Outpatient Community Outreach Counselor
What do you do at PYHIT?
As an Outpatient Community Outreach Counselor with Baywood/PYHIT holding my CASAC 2-G and a B.S. in Applied Psychology. My work centers on bridging the gap in care for individuals across Warren, Washington, and Essex counties who can't access traditional, office-based treatment services—including direct outreach and support within local school districts throughout the school year.
To further deepen my clinical practice and systemic advocacy work, I am currently earning my MSW through Binghamton University's 2026 cohort.

What I enjoy most about this field is meeting people exactly where they are and partnering with them to break down the physical, social, and personal barriers in their way.

They provide incredible leadership, offer the flexibility I need to pursue continuing education, and genuinely support me in reaching both my personal and professional goals.
