Andrea Cryer, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Andrea!

We all need support and direction at times. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to discuss your concerns in order to change your life for the better.

My focus

I have extensive knowledge and practice working with those suffering from depression, anxiety and OCD, grief, trauma and PTSD, and relationship concerns. I am willing to see minors (ages 13-17) and individuals.

My approach

I consider myself an Existential Therapist who also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness tools to help you learn skills to reduce unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while feeling more fulfilled in your life.

My communication style

You will find that I'm non-judgmental, warm, and honest, so you feel supported and cared for. We will develop clear goals to accomplish together, so our time is spent productively.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to mental healthcare includes clinical experience where I honed my skills in various therapeutic modalities.

My goals for you

I am certified in Managing and Adaptive Practices (MAP) and trained in Trauma-Focused CBT. My specialties include anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, LGBTQIA+ issues, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), parenting, pregnancy and postpartum issues, self-esteem, stress, panic attacks, and coping skills.

Our first session

In our first session, we will discuss your concerns and develop a plan to work together to help you feel better and more fulfilled in your life. I look forward to working with you!
