Andrea Stang-McKeough
I’m Andrea Stang-McKeough, LMHC, CCTP, a trauma-focused psychotherapist in Midtown Manhattan. I support adults navigating trauma, anxiety, life transitions, relationships, and the many layers of experiences that shape how we see ourselves and the world around us.
As a doctoral-level clinician and practice owner, I bring clinical depth, cultural awareness, and real-world understanding of pressure, ambition, and responsibility.
I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, respected, and empowered to better understand themselves and move toward meaningful healing.
First session
In therapy, we will work together to develop your self-understanding within a specific context while working towards your individualized therapeutic goals. Together, we will explore how past experiences, traumas, and relationships have shaped your worldview, relationships, and inner world.
Strengths
I bring warmth, curiosity, honesty, and a trauma-informed perspective to my work. I believe therapy should be compassionate and purposeful, so I balance creating a space where clients feel emotionally safe with helping them identify patterns, build insight, and make meaningful changes. I also recognize that every client brings a unique cultural background, identity, relationships, and lived experience into the room. My goal is not to tell clients who they should be, but to help them better understand themselves, reconnect with their strengths, and feel more confident navigating their lives.
Ideal clients
I’m best positioned to serve individuals who are ready to do meaningful, reflective work. If you’re someone who tends to overthink, carry a lot of responsibility, or struggle with balancing your needs with everyone else’s, we’ll likely work well together. My clients often share a desire for deeper self-understanding, healthier relationships, and sustainable success without sacrificing their well-being.
Treatment methods
Interpersonal
I use an interpersonal lens to help clients understand how their relationships, communication patterns, and life transitions impact their emotional wellbeing. Together, we explore attachment dynamics, boundaries, and unresolved relational stressors to reduce symptoms and strengthen connection. This approach is especially helpful for clients navigating grief, conflict, or role changes.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
My foundation is person-centered, meaning I prioritize empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard in every session. I believe healing happens in a space where clients feel deeply seen and not judged. I use this approach to build a strong therapeutic alliance that allows for meaningful growth and self-trust.
Psychodynamic
I integrate psychodynamic principles to help clients uncover how past experiences and unconscious patterns may be influencing their present behaviors and relationships. By identifying recurring themes and defense mechanisms, we work toward deeper insight and lasting change. This approach supports clients who want to understand the “why” behind their emotional responses.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. Together, we develop practical strategies to shift thinking, regulate emotions, and build healthier behaviors. This structured, goal-oriented approach provides tools clients can use between sessions and long-term.
