Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Andrea!

Andrea Sanserino uses a genuine, compassionate approach to helping others heal and grow. Andrea utilizes a recovery-oriented focus, starting from a place that believes that every individual has enormous strength and talent that can be harnessed to create a rich, meaningful life.

My approach

Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Seeking Safety (trauma-focused work), and skilled in Motivational Interviewing, Andrea approaches therapy as a collaborative process.

My focus

Andrea's main areas of focus are treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and helping people create and maintain healthy relationships.

My communication style

Acknowledging that beginning therapy can be difficult or scary, Andrea's focus is providing a space that is welcoming and safe. Being genuine, honest, and open helps to create that space.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been interested in and drawn to talking with all kinds of different people. I am grateful every day for the privilege I have of being able to connect with and help people in such a meaningful way.

My goals for you

Creating goals for therapy is done together, and something that we will check in about regularly to ensure that we are working on what is important to you as the client.

My first session with you

The first session is an introduction where we will learn about each other. It is important for me to understand why you came to therapy and what you hope to accomplish in our time together.
