Hi, I am Vicki Andrews, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I look forward to working with you in those areas of discomfort. We can work at your pace using an eclectic approach that works best for you. Therapy takes courage & I am here to support you on your path to becoming the person you want to be.
My approach
While I use the therapeutic approach most comfortable for you, I tend to default to cognitive behavior therapy. Often using CBT interwoven with techniques from other therapy approaches.
My focus
I enjoy working with all people, but hold a special place for women’s issues, adolescent concerns, depression, anxiety, & trauma. As an adult who grew up in a home with an alcoholic father, I also understand those issues & concerns.
My communication style
I work collaboratively with you in a welcoming, safe, & non-judgmental way. Therapy is about you, and it needs to be a comfortable place for you to feel free to share your thoughts.
My journey to mental healthcare
As early as 16 I recall wanting to become a counselor/therapist. I am altruistic by nature looking to help others. As a mother I learned to problem solve, looking for solutions to bring about comfortable change. Spent years as an in-home daycare provider supporting parents with caring for & parenting their children.
My goals for you
As we get to know each other & choose to work together, we can decide what concerns you want to address that you feel can bring you the most comfort.
My first session with you
Our initial session is a time to get to know one another. Therapy works best when we feel safe, to be honest, & vulnerable. I am genuine, what you see is who I am, and truly look forward to getting to know & understand you.
