Casie Rizza (She/Her)
Clinical Intern
Casie is a valued member of Canvas of Life Counseling’s clinical group, bringing a grounded and heart-forward approach that enriches the collective spirit of healing as she supports clients on their journey to wellness.
Casie Rizza graduated from the University of Maine with an undergraduate degree in classical piano performance. For many years, she focused on music, running her own piano studio, where she taught children and adults this beloved instrument. As the years passed, Casie realized that her strongest passion lay in building connections with her students and their families. While she loved teaching and making music, engagement with people and fostering relationships became the most life-giving aspect of her business. Inspired by this realization, Casie is now pursuing her masters in clinical mental health counseling through Colorado Christian University and is on track to graduate in December of 2025. The courses she has completed thus far in her program have further fueled her desire to provide high quality mental health services to adults in need, and she looks forward to helping others find healing and growth.
