Hi, I am Andrea. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a wide variety of experience. Currently, in addition to providing counseling through Better Help, I work as a Clinical Coordinator within the NYC hospital system. I coordinate treatment amongst a variety of agencies to best support persons with severe mental illness as they reintegrate back into the community. I have also developed a program to support adults with developmental disabilities by connecting them to community treatment providers. During my time as a social worker, I have provided counseling to persons in the criminal justice system in a variety of contexts. I also have experience as an individual and group therapist for persons struggling with substance use disorders in the outpatient setting. I previously served as a counselor and advocate in the hospitals, courts, and on a crisis hotline for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. As an undergraduate at SUNY New Paltz, I studied sociology with a focus on human services. As a graduate student at CUNY Hunter, I received a Masters in Social Work with a concentration in Children, Youth, and Families. I am trained in Mental Health First Aid and Crisis Intervention. I completed a course in Social Pedagogy in Denmark, learning to integrate a holistic and relationship-based approach into my counseling techniques. I know that no single approach to counseling is the right one for each person. My counseling style aims to meet my clients where they are at to promote self-advocacy and highlight inner strengths. I utilize methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy.
