(she/her)
Hi there! My name is Perla Andrade and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. Wherever you are on your journey, the struggles and the challenges you have experienced do not have to define the direction of your life. Reaching out for help shows that you know you deserve to be happy. Together, we can work to overcome the depression or anxiety that have been a result of the hardships you have faced. You do not have to face these challenges alone.
In our first session together, we will have brief introductions and then discuss what brings you to therapy. We'll reserve the last few minutes to discuss how I can support you and together we will make a plan for our following sessions.
With over six years of experience in counseling and 17 years in education, I provide a welcoming environment with a belief that all people can learn and grow. I will be your biggest advocate and know that you have the ability to overcome all of the difficulties that life has thrown your way.
I enjoy working with adults of all ages who are experiencing difficult transitions in life. My clients are seeking support through the heavy moments of life. Together, we process their joy and pain and find meaning in their experiences.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy supports your wellbeing by identifying any negative thoughts, emotions, or behaviors that are holding you back. Together, we will discuss what you value & hold dear to you. We will process your identity in all the many roles you take on and identify how your past & present have affected you. We will identify the patterns that have served you and the patterns that are no longer serving you in order to create new ones that bring you peace, joy, and stability.
