Kat Andrade
Greetings, my name is Dr. Katherine Andrade, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have 28 years of experience working in Medical, Health, Mental Health, and Substance Use. I have worked as a school, mental health, medical, and military social worker. I have a Master's and Doctorate degrees in Social Work. I specialize in working with adults/seniors with mental health and substance use challenges as well as family issues, stress, adjusting to medical challenges, and military/veteran issues.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
You can expect a safe and supportive environment with an appreciation for you sharing your life story. Latter sessions will consist of establishing goals for what you want to work on and receiving the tools/skills/strategies needed to accomplish those goals. You will leave the sessions feeling heard and empowered to move through your challenges with a new look at life.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My years of experience, personal and professional, are my greatest strengths. I have acquired experiences (lived experiences plus educational knowledge) to pass along to my patients that provide a connection of rapport and understanding.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I provide person-centered, evidence-based therapies that encompass CBT, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, strength-based interventions, mindfulness, and trauma recovery therapies, all from a holistic perspective. The ultimate goal is to assist individuals in enhancing their quality of life.

My first session felt very authentic and conversational, which allowed me to get a little bit more comfortable and ease my anxiety about therapy. I’m looking forward to continuing sessions with Dr. Kat and growing as a person.

Dr. Kat is invaluable. She gives you practical tools to solve your problems and tells you the truth, not just what you want to hear. She's open-minded, genuine, and very relatable.

She has already created a safe space and a soft landing which has allowed me to open up and release some shame around my past decisions. I am thankful to be able to express myself; I felt so seen and heard.
