Hello! My name is Andrea Petty and I am here to help. By being here, you’ve already taken the courageous step of seeking professional help for an issue you are experiencing. I know this must be tough. You were probably debating seeking help for months if not years, and I’m glad you’re here. Depression, fear, mania and/or anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions/moods that we can experience at some point in our lives. I’m here to work with you and for you. Whether you’re dealing with substance abuse, depression, mood disorder, PTSD, or anxiety, you must know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. Together, we will work to leave behind the struggles you face today and equip you with the tools to move onward to a future of happiness and success. *** Please note, I am a nurse practitioner and provide psychotherapy only in conjunction with medication management. If you are not ready to consider medication at this time, you should match with a therapist for therapy only. ***
