Andrea A ThorntonPsychologist, PhD

About

I help people develop the tools and insight needed to achieve symptom relief and create a life that is more meaningful and fulfilling in the long-term. With over 25 years experience and exceptional credentials, my approach is warm, compassionate, practical, and collaborative. Therapy with me includes both understanding how your history may be informing the challenges bringing you to treatment (the "why?"), and learning skills (the "what now?") to improve your situation. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, the trauma resiliency model, interpersonal psychotherapy and psychodynamic theory. Areas of specialization include: eating disorders, mood & anxiety disorders, relationships & sexuality, trauma, and medical psychology. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and communities, and in various settings from private practice, to treatment centers, to prestigious clinical research institutions and hospitals (UBC, UCLA, USC, UCSD).
