Hello my name is Andrea Cordell Proper and I am an LCP in Frederick, MD. I believe the journey surrounding mental health is uniquely individual and deeply personal. I bring empathy, trust, understanding and humor to each experience. Working with adolescents and adults, and couples. Areas of expertise include postpartum mood disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and family/system conflict. I have special interest in best practices for treating perinatal mood disorders and integrative multicultural approach to perinatal mood disorders therapy and reproductive health. I have lectured as well as designed coursework to further the education, and awareness of best practices for treating postpartum mood disorders across diverse cultures and demographics as well as guest speaker at various colleges and universities. Meeting people where they are at, holding space and allowing a safe and compassionate place to heal is my goal with every person.
In our first session you can expect some questions to better understand the areas of concern you have and together work to identify your needs and a plan to navigate your therapeutic journey.
Having worked with individuals for many years in some of their most vulnerable moments has allowed me to hold space for and attune to most people. This eclectic style allows for acceptance and understanding of people in a non-judgmental safe but challenging space.
Meeting clients where they are at, using a variety of modalities for healing.
Taking a holistic approach to care means considering all the factors that make up an individual, their community, customs and traditions and values.
