Cassandra Grearhart Ph.D.

Cassandra holds a Ph.D. in counseling psychology from The University of Texas at Austin. When guiding others along the TWIM path, she bridges her expertise in modern mental health and training in early Buddhist teachings to create a research-informed, uplifting experience for meditators. She began studying with Venerable “Bhante” Vimalaramsi in 2013. 

Her early encounters spurred confidence in the TWIM path and dedication to sharing the benefits of TWIM practice with others. At California State University at Long Beach, Cassandra led workshops with college students on meditation for stress management and overcoming imposter syndrome. She also facilitated a weekly sitting group for students. Cassandra completed TWIM teacher training with Bhante in 2019. She went on to guide online, asynchronous retreats during the COVID-19 pandemic. Aligned with her professional interests, Cassandra has presented research at national and international conferences on meditation integration into therapy and as a self-care practice for helping professionals. She currently co-facilitates a weekly sitting group in Austin, Texas and incorporates TWIM practice with therapy clients when appropriate. Cassandra strives to bring compassion and wisdom to her meditation guidance. She finds joy in helping others navigate their path of wellness and transformation.
