Get to Know Andrea C

Therapist | LCSW

My therapy approach is solution focused, client centered, collaborative and strength-based. The goal of therapy is not to tell you what to do, but to work with you to help you achieve your goals; goals that we will set up together. I can direct, assist, advise, inform, or educate based on your needs. You are the expert in yourself.

My Professional Background

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) in the state of New York.

I have worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as addiction, depression/stress, anxiety, anger, family problems, guilt/shame, trauma/abuse, separation/divorce, relationships/parenting and more.
