Freedom of mind. Don’t let worrying, about your past or current life stressors take up any more free real estate in your mind. Worrying offers NO RETURN on your investment. I’m Andrea Onukwue! It’s a pleasure and privilege to welcome you to Freed Mind Consulting, LLC. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Psychotherapy Privileges licensed to practice independently in the states of MO and NY. For the past five years, I've had my full-time private practice. Over the past 20 years, I’ve practiced in a variety of settings and contexts as a practitioner, C-suite executive employee assistance consultant, and senior executive leader. I’m dually credentialed as a psychotherapist and educational leader. I know people and have extensive experience journeying with individuals from all walks of life, as they seek greater clarity, wellness, fulfillment, and peace. My clients describe me as: Honest, easy to talk to, and highly competent in providing goal-directed care that achieves results. Levity and life application are always an integrated aspect of normalizing the treatment experience. My approach emphasizes cultivating a freed mindset as essential to a healthy, productive, and enjoyable life. It also emphasizes improving communication, managing expectations, and establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries in interpersonal connections. Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is: Your telehealth session can occur in your own indoor or outdoor private space as long as you have a stable connection, are comfortable, and not operating a vehicle in your state of residence.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. I will get some historical context for understanding any relevant early life exposure that may be impacting your current functioning. Getting some background regarding past and present concerns and experiences will help me create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Together, we will: Identify thoughts, hurts, and behaviors interfering with fulfillment and peace, implementing strategies for improvement during weekly sessions with life work resources. Let’s begin together today!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in the field for 20 years, with experience as a certified clinical trauma professional, and extensive work with clients experiencing anxiety and problems related to upbringing, I’m able to help clients identify their triggers, implement strategies for reducing impact on functioning, accept what can’t be changed, improve distress tolerance, and move forward in their journey to a healthier, more grounded and peaceful internal dialogue. I provide resources to use outside of sessions to equip my clients with research-based tools to help them achieve measurable treatment progress/results.
