Getting to know Andrea Christensen
Hello! I studied psychology at UC Berkeley and absolutely loved the field. I then completed a master's in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco. From then on I have worked in many different settings (schools, private practice, residential rehab) with a diverse set of people and circumstances for the past 14 years and continue to love the field. I also come from a personal background of trauma and loss, which has informed my work as a therapist. I have gained first hand experience of how transformation and healing can happen with the right supports and guidance. I hope to bring both my academic understandings and learnings as well as real life experience to our work together to enable you to learn, grow and thrive in the ways you are hoping for.
