Getting to know Andrea Platero

Hi there, I'm Andrea! My name is Andrea Platero, and I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 15 years of experience in mental health. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from Capella University. My purpose and passion are inviting others into transformation through greater authenticity, awareness, and choice. My approach I provide support and practical feedback to help clients address personal challenges. I have additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. My focus I work with adolescents and adults to navigate emotion dysregulation, anxiety, depression, boundary setting, and developing healthy communication. My communication style I am down-to-earth, respectful, and open-minded, using an empathetic approach to help individuals relieve symptoms, sort through stressors, and practice effective coping skills. My journey to mental healthcare In my senior year of high school, I excitedly told my counselor I was applying to three universities. The response was defeating: “Don’t get your hopes up; there are so many students applying, but you can try.” I told myself I wasn’t smart enough for college. I graduated with honors and a 3.9 GPA. Later, I became depressed with daily self-defeating talk. My parents placed me in therapy, and through that experience, I was empowered to know my worth and not let negative thoughts dictate my future. My passion to assist others stems from these experiences and a desire to help transform lives affected by stress. My goals for you After clients share their story and reasons for therapy, themes are addressed and narrowed to specific goals. My first session with you Rapport building, providing a platform for clients to tell their story and discuss therapy expectations.
