Andrea Guthrie

My communication style

My goal is to be approachable and helpful. I am straightforward and strive to help you feel empowered and confident to enact the changes you seek. I want you to feel that therapy is a collaborative effort. You are not alone.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist while working with children dealing with severe trauma and behavioral difficulties. I saw how the power of relationship, attachment, connection, and behavioral coaching impacted their ability to function and grow. I love what I do.

My goals for you

Goal setting is critical for developing direction in therapy. Goals should be easy to understand and define reasonable expectations so we can determine a clear path forward. Initial meetings focus on what you want, and I'll ask questions to help us develop markers of growth and action plans for skills.

Our first session

In our first meeting, I'll establish a clear idea of what you need. I'll ask questions, listen, and begin to identify goals so you can feel like we have a direction. My focus will be to put you at ease and help you acclimate to the process so you can know if we're a good fit.
