About me

Hi. My name is Andrea. I'm a Mental Health Counselor licensed in Massachusetts and Nebraska with 10 years experience as a therapist. I began my career working in an inpatient dual diagnosis unit. I simultaneously worked as a therapist for the federal government proving therapy to men and women looking for guidance on making good life decisions. For several years, I ran an outpatient clinic and was fortunate enough to work with clients ranging in age from 5-68. Needless to say, my experience as a therapist has been vast and includes people from all walks of life!

For the entirety of my career, I've done initial evaluations for all of my clients, in addition to clients being seen by other therapists. This has given me the opportunity to learn about and work with an array of clients with many different presenting problems. Some of specialties include depression, anxiety, self esteem, communication issues, and relationship problems. In addition to these specialties, I have worked with many people who have suffered traumas due to abuse or other factors.

My counseling style is collaborative. It's important to me that the people I work with feel like they're being heard and that therapy is being tailored to their needs. I do not believe that therapy is a one size fits all so I will work hard to figure out what works best for you instead of providing generic responses and interventions. You can expect that I will be honest, friendly, and supportive during our time together. I hope to provide a judgement free zone where you feel able to share whatever is on your mind, no matter how embarrassing or uncomfortable. I use cognitive behavioral approaches but I will tailor my approach to meet your needs so there is a greater change of success.

I have been providing online therapy for some time and find that this is the best way to provide access to mental health for everyone. I have found that this platform allows people to share their thoughts, reflect, and receive fast responses that just isn't possible with traditional face to face therapy. We no longer have to wait weeks for appointments in order to start working on feeling better.

Andrea helped me through a very difficult time. She won’t sugar coat things because she truly wants to help you. She’s here for solutions and doesn’t want you stuck in the same position. She does this with compassion, kindness, and understanding. She is also very responsive to messages in a timely manner and if she hasn’t heard from you, will check in on you. I highly recommend Andrea!

I have worked with Andrea for years and I wouldn't do that if she weren't great. She is adaptable to the needs of her clients and forms a solid relationship with them to help them make progress in their lives.

I always know I will get an honest opinion and not what I want to hear. I value her views and understanding. She is a voice I need to here.

Andrea is extremely kind and intuitive. She validates how I'm feeling and really reads between the lines to pick up on what I'm not saying. She has helped me tremendously in a short time.

Honestly this experience has been life changing. I’m once again able to focus on the things I’ve wanted to do for myself since forever ago and now that I can work through my stronger emotions I have the metal space to truly push forward in a healthier more effective way. I love to journal on the app and not have the fear that I’m going to get judged by who is reading it. So thank you for helping me on my self growth journey.
