Healing begins when we talk about the pain - I believe one of the largest obstacles to feeling better is asking for help. I also believe that each of us is resilient and has an inner strength that enables us to soldier on while we work through our pain. My goal as your therapist will be to support you and give you the tools you need, while guiding you through the process of healing and resolution so that you may find inner peace and renewed energy.

As of 8/25/21 not accepting new clients. Everyone strives for growth, and we all have resilience, but when you're feeling overwhelmed or emotionally hurt, it can be hard to find that resilience. But that's also when you can have the greatest capacity for change. Something is motivating you to seek help; whatever is it, you don’t have to go it alone. I provide an emotionally safe, caring, and non-judgmental space where we can work together to find your unique path forward.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW

I also draw from family systems, humanistic, and
mindfulness
theories.
I enjoy working with people of all ages as they face life's challenges. Everybody struggles from time to time with worry, sadness, anger, and fear. Family difficulties, low self-esteem, problems in relationships, and school and work stress are common. When these issues persist over time, then psychotherapy can be helpful. I believe that a warm, caring, and trusting connection between the therapist and client is a necessary foundation before improvement can occur. We start with a consultation where I will listen carefully and sensitively to your concerns, and then offer you a therapeutic approach that will best help you achieve your goals.

practice, narrative therapy, CBT and DBT techniques, while also considering the influences of early experiences through the lens of attachment and psychodynamic theories.
"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" (Mary Oliver) -- This question lies at the heart of my work, with my goal being to help clients live more authentic and connected lives through self-awareness, resilience and positive change. My approach is flexible, interactive and solution-oriented. I bring a mindful perspective to psychotherapy and tend to see life transitions as opportunities for transformation and growth.

Andrea Broadwater
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Verified
I use primarily
Mindfulness
, Compassion and Trauma-Focused strategies to work toward understanding behaviors and emotions to allow ease into your life.
I provide a safe space for recovery from Eating Disorders, Trauma, Anxiety & Depression and realize these issues are more prevalent than ever. Many of us didn't get the guidance or safety we needed to build the kind of awareness or skill-set needed to calm ourselves or even recognize the emotions that we all have. My focus is to help my clients feel safe, so they can explore and name their emotions, needs and what type of skills might help them to soothe through whatever difficulties come their way. My hope is that you will feel you have more space for what you want in your life and less of the racing thoughts, discomfort and pain.

The therapy I provide is
mindfulness
-based.

With this in mind, I have created a comfortable, safe and nonjudgmental environment for my clients. I believe that people deserve the utmost respect, warmth and compassion from their therapist. My role in the therapeutic process is to guide my clients towards their highest potential, while also collaborating with them in every aspect of our work. Because everyone has unique strengths and barriers, my therapy style is open, flexible, and tailored to meet the specific goals of each client.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LLMSW

Therefore, my approach to therapy is strengths-based and individualized, eclectically combining various elements of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy,
mindfulness
, guided imagery, diaphragmatic breathing techniques, humanism, evolutionary theory, and exposure therapy as needed.
As a behaviorist, I believe that the environments in which we develop ultimately play the most significant role in our actions, decisions, and outcomes. Without the proper space for growth, healing, and self-development, one may face difficulties in achieving self-realization and self-actualization. Human-beings are social creatures – genetically designed, behaviorally conditioned, and evolutionarily driven. We possess certain intrinsic, natural needs and adaptations that have developed over millions of years. If these dualistically basic and complex needs remain unfulfilled, we will struggle to attain this self-actualization.
