She completed her pre-doctoral internship at Milton Hershey School, an internationally recognized private school where students from kindergarten through 12^th grade, all coming from underserved populations, live on campus.

Casey is a LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist that recognizes the importance of working closely with parents and caregivers, school teams, and other health providers to promote the best social, emotional, and academic outcomes in the children and adolescents she works with. She also believes in the power of physical exercise toward promoting positive mental health and has published research on this topic. Casey’s approach to treatment is informed by her belief in equity, positive regard, and valued living. She utilizes developmental and evidence-based treatments grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy and informed by attachment theory. Her clinical interests include anxiety disorders including obsessive compulsive disorders and phobias, mood disorders, trauma, and oppositional behaviors. She particularly enjoys working with children and younger adolescents. Dr. Hearing is licensed as a Psychology Associate in Washington, D.C. and Maryland.
