JJ Blandford
Hi, I'm Andie Lewis, a dedicated child and adolescent therapist and a parent to four amazing kids. Our lively household includes an Australian Shepherd, a green cheek conure, two cats, and a hamster. Growing up in Odessa, TX, I developed a strong sense of community and connection. My educational journey led me to earn two master's degrees, fueling my passion for understanding the human mind and heart. As a trauma-informed therapist, I create a safe and nurturing environment for young individuals to heal and grow, addressing challenges like family issues and abuse. I'm committed to raising awareness about the impact of childhood trauma on mental health through community outreach and collaboration with fellow professionals. Outside of work, I cherish quality time with my family and our pets. Whether exploring the outdoors, reading, or enjoying each other's company at home, these moments highlight the importance of love, laughter, and empathy.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
First and foremost, I want you to feel comfortable and safe. I'll introduce myself and create a welcoming atmosphere where you can freely express yourself, whether you're a child, a teen, or a parent accompanying your child. I'm here to listen with an open heart and mind. We'll start with some questions to understand your experiences, concerns, and goals. I'll ask about your family, school, hobbies, and any challenges you're facing. This helps me tailor our approach to your needs. Throughout the intake session, I'll build rapport and trust, validating your feelings and experiences. You're free to share as much or as little as you're comfortable with—there's no pressure or judgment. Depending on your age and preferences, we may engage in activities or games to facilitate communication, like drawing, storytelling, or simply talking about topics that interest you. By the end of our session, my goal is for you to feel empowered and hopeful. We'll discuss next steps and develop a plan together, outlining our goals and strategies. Remember, you're not alone on this journey. I'm here to support you every step of the way as we work towards healing, growth, and a brighter future.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider come from a blend of innate qualities and years of experience. My deep capacity for listening allows me to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. I bring a creative spark to my therapeutic approach, integrating innovative techniques like art, play, storytelling, and other expressive modalities. I believe in using creativity as a catalyst for exploration and healing. With over a decade of experience working with children and teens, I have honed my skills in addressing a wide range of issues, from trauma and behavioral challenges to developmental concerns. I tailor interventions to each client's unique needs and circumstances, supporting their growth and well-being. My commitment to fostering growth, healing, and empowerment drives everything I do. Through active listening, creative engagement, and years of experience, I strive to provide compassionate and effective therapeutic care that empowers individuals to navigate life's challenges with resilience and strength.

Trauma-Focused CBT
A specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help individuals, particularly children and adolescents, who have experienced trauma. TF-CBT integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-specific interventions to address the emotional and psychological effects of trauma, promote healing, and enhance resilience.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Therapeutic approach that views the mind as composed of different "parts" or subpersonalities, each with its own unique characteristics and roles. In IFS therapy, the therapist helps the individual explore and understand these parts, fostering self-awareness, self-compassion, and integration. By cultivating a harmonious relationship among these internal parts, individuals can achieve greater emotional balance and healing.
Play Therapy
Primarily used with children, though it can also be effective with adolescents and adults. In play therapy, the therapist uses toys, games, and other forms of play to help the client express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a nonverbal or symbolic manner. Through play, clients can explore and make sense of their inner world, develop coping skills, and resolve emotional conflicts. Play therapy can be particularly beneficial for children who may have difficulty expressing themselves verbally.
