🌼 About Basia Cady

Rooted in calm, growing toward clarity.

Hi, I’m Basia Cady, a licensed therapist and founder of Bumblebee Therapy. I created this space with the belief that healing should feel like sunlight — gentle, warm, and always welcome, no matter where you are in your journey.

I earned my BA in Sociology from Western Washington University in 2014, and later completed my Master of Social Work at the University of New England in 2018. Since then, I’ve had the honor of working with individuals from all walks of life — across socioeconomic, racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual identities — in settings that have shaped both my heart and my practice.

Over the years, whether I’ve worked in advocacy, crisis intervention, or long-term care, my focus has remained the same: to support my client’s safety and well-being, however that looks for them.

In my role as a therapist, I meet people exactly where they’re at — without judgment or pressure to rush. I pull from a blend of clinical and holistic approaches, with a strong foundation in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I specialize in working with individuals navigating Anxiety, Depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Bipolar Disorder, as well as those simply trying to find their way through this beautifully messy life.

My goal is to help clients gently reduce distress, reconnect with joy, and move toward something that feels whole and hopeful.

When I’m not in session, you can usually find me stretched out in a patch of sun, curled up with my cat, or off planning my next adventure — I’m slowly working my way around the globe, one season at a time. I also adore time with friends, family, and my godson (who’s getting pretty used to being smothered with love).

This practice — and this space — is here for you. No pressure. No rush. Just a place where you can begin, whenever you're ready.
