“I did not think I would be able to find a therapist I would be comfortable with until I connected with Andrea! She's very quickly been able to figure out how my brain works and adjust our sessions based upon things she knows I will respond to in a more efficient and effective way. She's 100% changed my attitude toward my own life, grief, and so many other things.”

Getting to know Andrea Parsons
Hello! My name is Andrea. I am a multiethnic, bilingual (Spanish), and LGBPTQQIA+ identified practitioner with a trauma-focused approach to therapy. I believe the majority of the challenges we face in daily life stem from experiences we have gone through as children, and that only by addressing and processing these experiences in a more adaptive way can we achieve true healing. I hold a Master’s in Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively. Although I utilize elements from a number of different modalities in my treatment plans—according to the needs of each individual—I prioritize the use of EMDR to address the root of our struggles and symptoms.

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.
