As a veteran and sought-after trauma and somatic expert, Andrea Cennington leverages the power of education and community outreach to bridge gaps and address disparities. Through storytelling, training, mindfulness, humor, and transparency, she aims to show minds, hearts, and organizations that they can heal and positively impact individuals, families, and communities. Her mission is to inspire others to embrace their inner strength, rewrite narratives, break down barriers, heal ancestral trauma, and cultivate resilience together. From a certified special education teacher to a licensed mobile crisis counselor, her diverse background allows her to approach therapy from multiple paradigms. Combining clinical expertise with a heart-driven and data-based approach, she aims to cultivate a safe space for beings to be vulnerable. As a trusted trainer for PESI®, she's also a licensed therapist, neurodiverse parent, prior Special Education Teacher, and an advocate for mental well-being. I intentionally create a therapeutic environment that fosters growth, insight, and transformation. Collaborating with forward-thinking, intellectual individuals ready to take their self-awareness to another level is deeply fulfilling and rewarding for myself and my clients.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, and I will review and interpret your assessments. Above all, I want you to feel empowered and hopeful about the journey ahead. Your unique strengths, values, and aspirations will guide our work together. I'm here to support you every step of the way as you navigate the challenges you're facing and embark on a path toward greater well-being and fulfillment.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a therapist who is also a peer, I bring a unique perspective and set of experiences to my practice. Hopefully, I bring: Shared Understanding: As someone who has experienced therapy, I empathize with the challenges and vulnerabilities your clients may be experiencing. Authenticity and Transparency: I am authentic and transparent, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. Insider Knowledge Role Modeling: By embodying the principles of self-care, personal growth, and vulnerability in my life, I can serve as a positive model for my clients. Continuous Growth: Like you, I, too, am on a journey of personal growth and self-discovery.
