“As a Black woman navigating the intricate terrain of mental health and medication management, finding a healthcare provider who not only understands but also fosters a sense of safety and comfort is paramount. In my journey, I have been fortunate to have Dr. Andrea Petty as my nurse practitioner, specializing in psychotherapy alongside medication management. Dr. Petty's approach is nothing short of transformative. She embodies a solution-based mindset, delving deep into the core issues while ensuring a holistic approach to wellness. What sets her apart is her authenticity. In each session, I have felt seen, heard, and validated—a crucial aspect of mental health care, especially for individuals from marginalized communities. Her expertise in psychotherapy, complemented by her keen understanding of medication management, has been instrumental in my progress. Dr. Petty doesn't just prescribe; she collaborates, taking into account my unique needs, concerns, and preferences. This personalized approach has not only improved my mental well-being but has also empowered me to actively participate in my treatment plan. Beyond her clinical skills, Dr. Petty's empathy shines through. As a Black woman, I have often faced challenges in healthcare settings, from feeling misunderstood to experiencing cultural insensitivity. With Dr. Petty, I have found a safe space—one where my identity is not only acknowledged but celebrated. Her inclusivity and cultural competence have fostered a therapeutic alliance built on trust and mutual respect. In a world where mental health care can feel impersonal and daunting, Dr. Andrea Petty stands out as a beacon of hope, empathy, and expertise. She not only treats symptoms but also nurtures holistic wellness, addressing the mind, body, and soul. My journey with her has been transformative, and I am grateful for her unwavering dedication to her patients' well-being. If you're seeking a healthcare provider who combines clinical excellence with genuine empathy, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Andrea Petty. She is not just a practitioner; she is a compassionate advocate for mental health and healing. ”

Depression, fear, mania, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions or moods that we can experience at some point in our lives. I’m here to work with you and for you. Whether you’re dealing with substance abuse, ADHD, depression, mood disorder, PTSD, or anxiety, it is important that you know there is hope for a better tomorrow. Together, we will work to leave behind the struggles you face today and equip you with the tools to move onward to a future of happiness and success.

My education and training have prepared me to support you on your journey toward wellness.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits. Contact me today if you’re ready to start working towards the life you want. Together, we can get you there.

Love Andrea's approach to uncovering your issues and helping me unpack what's bothering me. I love her and will be meeting with her again in 2023. Thank you for providing this service. It is helping people meet with therapists or NP to talk out what's bothering them while in the privacy of their home or wherever they feel safe.

Dr. Petty was really great when I met with her. I felt like she listened to me and really heard me and empathized with what I was saying. I immediately felt like I could be open with her without judgement. All around it was a great appointment and I left there feeling energized and excited about continuing visits with her!

Andrea helped me feel confident with my decision with medication and took time to listen to my concerns. I felt heard, and that made all the difference.

Great appointment; I don’t like the medicine prescribed because I have side effects but I’m going to go ahead and move forward because Andrea is great!
