Getting to know Andrea Perkins
My name is Andrea Perkins, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience in social services. I hold a master’s degree in social work from California State University Stanislaus. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with diverse populations, including individuals from various socio-economic, racial, and ethnic backgrounds, as well as LGBTQIA+ clients, foster children, and families impacted by the child welfare system. I have also worked within the Child Welfare System of Care, supporting families through complex challenges. Additionally, I have provided support to patients navigating medical issues, disabilities, grief, loss, and end-of-life experiences in hospital settings as a medical social worker.
I have worked with individuals who face challenges such as anxiety, gender identity, sexual orientation, self-esteem, life transitions, and systemic bias. Additionally, I’ve had the honor of helping college students navigate their transition into young adulthood.
I use a humanistic, client-centered approach that emphasizes authenticity, warmth, humor, and unconditional positive regard. I believe in building a non-judgmental, safe, and affirming environment where healing can thrive. I believe it is important that each client feels respected and empowered to make positive changes in their lives, because you are the expert in your life.
I am passionate about providing an affirming, safe and nurturing environment where individuals who identify with the LGBTQIA+ , and BIPOC community, feel seen and heard; where the focus is on their healing and success.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in a variety of modalities, including Client-Centered Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I am dedicated to supporting you on your journey of healing and growth.

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.
