Andrea Stocker, LCSW

Psychotherapist
20288 W Valley Blvd, Tehachapi, CA
My name is Andrea Stocker, and I am an LCSW with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Bakersfield. I focus on eating disorders and the LGBTQIA+ population, and I am sex-positive and kink-aligned. I am currently working toward becoming a certified sex therapist. I take a whole-person approach to therapy. My approach I focus on systems theory—when something is wrong with the system as a whole, mental health symptoms often increase. I also recognize that as we move through various life stages, adjusting can be difficult and symptoms may intensify. My focus I work with clients who have eating disorders, identify as LGBTQIA+, and include couples, singles, adults, teens, and kids. Many of my clients experience depression, anxiety, ADHD, and ASD. I also support clients practicing or considering ethical non-monogamy (ENM), as well as those struggling with monogamous relationships. I believe strongly in access to care, so I very seldom turn anyone away. My communication style Many clients say it feels like talking to a friend. I am casual and relatable in my style. My cats and dog are my “office assistants” and may sometimes be seen or heard during sessions if clients are comfortable with that. I am a real person who values connection. My journey to mental healthcare I earned my bachelor’s degree in Zoology and initially planned to become a veterinarian. Later, I considered a career in stem cell research, but that path didn’t work out at the time. I stumbled into social work when I took a job at a group home for teen girls. After earning my MSW, I worked in homeless services and the prison system. Now, I truly enjoy private practice and helping clients find their best selves. My goals for you Together, we identify SMART goals that are meaningful to you. My first session with you We will review your background at your pace. If there is a history of trauma, I do not push; I allow you to get comfortable before discussing it.
