About me
Hi and welcome! My name is Andretta, and I have 10 years of experience working with individuals(adults/children), couples, and families in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have experience working with individuals (ages 4+) addressing: Mood disorders, Anxiety, Co-occurring Disorders, Trauma, Grief/Loss, Family/Relational Conflict, ADHD/ADD, Attachment Issues, RAD, Emotion Dysregulation, and I have experience working with individuals diagnosed with BPD. Furthermore, I have a background in child protection with experience in forensic interviewing, and I have experience working with individuals with predatory offenses.
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or in need of support? Maybe you’re finding it difficult to resolve conflict with others and manage and regulate your emotions when you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious. Maybe you’re currently at a point in your life where you’ve experienced a life changing event or going through a transition. Relationships, communication, and life in general can be extremely challenging and overwhelming. I want you to know that you don’t have to deal with things on your own. I am here to help and would love the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey. Reaching out for help is a huge step and can cause some discomfort. Why? Because for some people, this is out of their norm and can be anxiety provoking. I am dedicated to being present by walking alongside you throughout your therapeutic journey while creating a safe space for you so that change can occur. I believe this will assist you with attaining goals
