Lissell Andrade, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lissell!

I am passionate about providing a safe, non-judgmental place for clients to feel as comfortable as possible, by considering the vulnerability and uncertainty of starting therapy.

My focus

I have experience working with clients dealing with mood, psychotic, and substance-induced disorders. However, I primarily work with clients who have difficulty managing day-to-day tasks due to anxiety and depression.

My approach

My approach is client-centered. Drawing from the skills of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I challenge you to reframe how you perceive internal and external factors.

My communication style

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to feel as comfortable as possible, by considering the vulnerability and uncertainty of starting therapy. I will greet you with compassion and respect to support you in your journey to healing and growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked as a Clinical Social Worker at a psychiatric hospital for seven years. I have always enjoyed working with patients and facilitating group therapy. However, over the years, my passion for working with individuals in reaching their personal goals has led me to provide individual therapy.

My goals for you

I ask what your goals are, determine how achievable they are, identify barriers, set measurable goals, and determine how to track progress together.

Our first session

I will greet you with compassion and respect to support you in your journey to healing and growth. I will always meet you where you are, and your voice will always be heard with me, because this is your journey.
