Getting to know Andrea James

Hi there, I'm Andrea! My approach to the work I do with folks is to meet each individual where they are and provide a non-judgmental, compassionate space for you to explore the depths of who you are and what makes you... well, you. Through a combination of talk therapy, body-based (somatic) work, and a healthy dose of humor, my hope is to offer comfort and acceptance while navigating your therapeutic journey. I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University, which has shaped my understanding and skills in supporting clients holistically. My approach I usually find myself pulling from an eclectic model of therapy, combining person-centered talk therapy and somatic-based techniques and tools. I am very relational and see therapy through the lens of developing trust in connection, self, and the body. When working with body image and disordered eating, I draw from Health at Every Size, body neutrality, and body trust frameworks. I am also a trauma-informed practitioner and believe this to be a fundamental part of the work that I do. My focus Many of the folks I see feel disconnected from their own inner wisdom and find it difficult to trust themselves-whether that be their mind, emotional world, or body. Anxiety, perfectionism, body image/disordered eating, and trauma-based challenges are just a few areas I enjoy working with and have a great deal of experience in. My communication style I am a very relational and person-centered clinician. I believe trust and the therapeutic relationship are at the core of any profound work that can be done in therapy. I want people to feel seen, heard, and witnessed in a way that feels safe, nurturing, and aligned with who they are as a person. I also find that a splash of comic relief and humor naturally shows up in therapy and can be beneficial to the relationship. So please, show up as you are!
