In the face of some of life’s most challenging moments, it is important to remember that you can always build new understanding, awareness, and resilience. Therapy—especially when rooted in a trusting therapeutic relationship—is a place designed to do just that. As a therapist, I support people who grapple with anxiety, depression, major life transitions, relationship issues, and a variety of other challenges. It is of the utmost importance to me that you experience a sense of safety and belonging as we work together, using inquiry, compassion, connection and collaboration as guideposts as we explore your questions and concerns.

I have had extensive experience working with families in regards to emotional regulation, depression, trauma, anxiety, family relationships, and crisis intervention. My caseload largely consisted of adolescent youth having areas of need focusing around stabilization in the community. One of the largest considerations is their own desire to change, grow, or pursue their goals, which is normally a pillar to their treatment. A client looking to learn more about themselves, identify areas of need, and strive toward achieving their goals would benefit greatly from the treatment I can provide.

Today probably seemed hard. Dealing with the current pandemic, problems at work or home, or maybe just trying to figure out what the next steps are in life. I GET IT, and I want to help you with that! I also want to help you address those things that may seem difficult to tackle on your own.

Andrea is the Clinic and Training Director of the Systemic Psychotherapy Center, a Bilingual (Spanish- English) Group Practice. She developed her principle of systemic psychotherapy based on the utilization of a diverse range of clinical techniques (from science and art), but also a broad capacity of introspection (from spirituality). Andrea's commitment to healing led her to create training programs and psychotherapeutic techniques to expand awareness, such as flamenco psychotherapy (a dance and music technique to heal somatic complaints caused by traumatization). She also taught family systems therapy at Fordham University.

Music Therapy
How does music therapy work?
A music therapist will begin by assessing the client’s specific needs and getting a sense of their musical ability and interests. Musical training is not required, and clients of all ages can benefit from this type of therapy. The therapist will then make a plan for how to achieve the client’s therapeutic goal(s) using a range of receptive (e.g., listening to a song) and active (e.g., drumming in a group) music therapy techniques.
What are some common music therapy techniques?
Music therapy usually involves listening to music (either live or recorded). Music therapy clients may also make music on popular instruments, such as the piano, guitar, and hand drum, or sing. Sometimes music therapy can include guided imagery. A music therapist may ask clients to improvise on the spot or even compose their own songs. Dancing or moving to music can be an effective intervention to help clients feel more fully grounded in their bodies and remain in the present moment.
How does music therapy help with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?
Music therapy can be a valuable creative outlet for clients with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who have trouble putting their painful feelings into words. Listening to music can be relaxing while making music as part of a group provides plenty of opportunities to connect with other people. In addition to its mood-boosting effects, music therapy can help clients build resilience and overcome PTSD symptoms that may interfere with their daily lives.
How long does music therapy take?
Music therapy sessions generally last between 30 and 50 minutes. They can be scheduled in advance (for example, once a week) or can be done on an as-needed basis. Some clients will only require a handful of music therapy sessions to achieve their goals, while others may need months or longer, depending on their specific concern.
