Ready to spring forward from the wounds of trauma, the weight of depression, or the unsettling feeling of anxiety? Have you ever found yourself saying “I didn’t always use to be like this,” “I need to get back to my old self,” or “I’ve been dealing with a lot lately” and hoping for the insight or tools to change that? You’ve come to the right place. The time is now to get life back on track. I’m Andréa Addie, a licensed clinical social worker with 5 years experience extensively trained trauma and other therapy modalities proven to be effective.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect to enter into warm environment where they are allowed to be their authentic selves as we created a tailored treatment plan based their individual needs. (Please note that a free 15 minute consultation is required to begin therapy.)
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I pride myself in ensuring a strong therapeutic relationship is built in a warm and easy environment that’s paced at my client’s needs. So yes, sometimes there is laughter as my clients are working the difficult challenges of their lives along with the emotionally attuned ear. My clients aren’t getting generic talk therapy - they are getting someone who is able to be present with them who is skilled with tools that produces emotionally relieved clients.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work with adults and LGBTQIA identifying folks just like you: ones that have it within them to thrive again after trauma events, but just need the support to tap into their strengths to get there or support gathering and sorting pieces of life to make sense of everything. I help my clients find relief, empowerment, and happiness by equipping them with the tools they need to better understand themselves. I do this by using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Sensorimotor psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
