Hi! I'm Andrecia a licensed psychotherapist with over 14 years of experience working with children, teens, tweens, parents, and adults to reach their personal best despite challenges they may face. I am a graduate of Fordham University and hold a Master’s of Social Work. I am to licensed to practice in the State of Connecticut and New York as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). Starting therapy can be scary, but with the right therapist, it will feel just right. I provide a safe secure environment where you can be yourself and talk about life's challenges and stressors without fear of judgement.
In our first session together , we'll start with brief introductions and discuss the reasons why you are seeking therapy at this time. We will talk about the specific difficulties you are currently facing, and dive briefly into your history, and current therapy goals. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through follow-up sessions. Finally, timing, scheduling that works for both client and therapist, the Live Session Policy, and Informed Consent will also be discussed.
I provide an environment of compassion and support to help individuals overcome obstacles to move forward and thrive.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of mental health concerns.
In Strength-based therapy, the client is the storyteller. The story may include trauma, pain, and stressors from the past or present. The therapist encourages the client to have the mindset of a survivor rather than a victim.
Person-centered practices focus on each person's abilities and strengths, including natural supports, so that he or she can maintain or work toward overall self-improvement.
