Hey there, I’m Andrea a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has spent the last 13 years in the field of Social Work. I hold a Master of Social Work degree from Clark Atlanta University. I am also certified as an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinician. I am here to be a listener, a supporter when necessary, and above all to assist you in finding and maintaining what works best for you to be your best self. I specialize in parenting children with special needs, relationships, depression, and anxiety. I believe everyone can overcome their challenges and acquire skills that can be used to fulfill their lives with immense joy and happiness. And that folks are the ideals that I can assist you in doing for yourself. Your greatest achievement will always be your ability to be self- aware and have complete self- determination.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we will start building rapport. I want to know what brings you to therapy. I would need to gather some background information so that I can better serve your needs in this process. An assessment will be completed to determine any hx and or current diagnoses. We will formulate a treatment plan and projected timelines. At our sessions, we will work on the completion of the treatment goals, discuss progress made, and any problem solutions that maybe needed along the way.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My ultimate goal is to allow clients to have a safe space to face whatever may ail them. Assist in their healing, provide tools and empowerment to grow. My strength is simply that I care tremendously about my clients’ progress. Ultimately, I want our time together to be successful and that they are in a much better place now than when they first started therapy with me.
