Andrea OntiverosClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW (she, her)

About

I have experience in inpatient and outpatient settings working with eating disorders, addictions, depression and anxiety, and trauma. I understand and respect the mind-body connection and how it can be an avenue for healing and change.I see the therapeutic relationship as a partnership and I provide a safe, comfortable and compassionate space. This space allows individuals to openly explore thoughts, emotions and behavior patterns, while learning to express emotions and relieve distress in a healthy way. I balance this with an authentic and direct approach which guides and challenges clients to move forward in their growth process. My approach is individualized and integrative. I explore individual's experiences in family and relationships to help gain an understanding of how you relate to yourself and others. In addition to my clinical training, I am a Certified Yoga Teacher, with an emphasis on trauma-sensitive movement and mindfulness practices. I also incorporate meditation.
