Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Hi, I’m Andrea, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist. Having worked in a variety of mental health settings and within the public school system, I have 20 years of experience supporting children & adolescents. My passion is helping children discover & build upon their strengths and abilities in order to overcome obstacles, learn new skills, and establish healthy relationships. I believe the therapy process should be engaging and collaborative in a safe and supportive environment. View 4 Photos I use a client centered, strengths-based approach to build rapport & create positive relationships. I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Processing, Play Therapy, & Mindfulness Practices. Through play and talk therapy, I help children learn to manage emotions & behaviors, build social skills, enhance self-esteem, and improve impulse control. Finding the right therapist is crucial to the therapeutic process. I am here to partner with you to help your child develop the skills needed to be happy and healthy. I love the work I do and consider it a privilege to be of assistance.
