Getting to know ANDREA BLACKSHEAR

Hi there, I'm Andrea! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 40 years of experience working with individuals, LGBTQA+, single parents, pre-teens, using online therapy, and substance counseling. I’m also a Certified Addictions Counselor II. My focus Clients I prefer may not know exactly what they need or how to get there, but knowing something has to change. Clients who are willing to trust, be open, honest, and willing to dig deep into the roots of emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical limitations that hinders them from becoming the best version of themselves. My approach My approach is to care show compassion, be supportive, and nonjudgmental, with treatment tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. I believe in creating a safe space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to build on their strengths and make meaningful changes. My communication style I am assertive in my communication which means for me; expressing my thoughts, and setting boundaries clearly and respectfully—without putting the other person down. I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and giving you opportunities to reflect on your experiences. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy began with a curiosity about human resilience and a desire to help others find strength through life’s challenges. Working with trauma, mental health, and substance abuse survivors showed me the power of therapy in healing. I’m driven by the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and lasting change. My goals for you Therapy is a partnership. TOGETHER! We’ll set goals that matter to you. Whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.
