Does this sound familiar?
You long for profound self-actualization--that peace that comes from living in your truest essence. You know you have the potential to flourish and thrive, but instead, you find yourself:
-
Overwhelmed by the weight of past traumas
-
Lost in a whirlwind of anxiety and depression
-
Stuck in the darkness, unable to see a way forward
Your path to transformation begins here.

How It Works
Schedule a Free Consultation
Your journey begins with a conversation. Schedule a free consultation using the contact form below, and you'll hear from us within 24-48 hours. We'll be there to answer your questions and ensure that you and the therapist are the perfect fit for one another.
Exploring Your Needs
In our first session, we dive deep. You'll complete an intake assessment, providing your therapist with valuable insights into your unique needs. This is where we lay the foundation, allowing the crafting of a personalized plan that aligns with your goals and aspirations.
Embrace Your Sessions
From here, we embark on our transformative journey together. Join your therapist weekly or biweekly for sessions filled with insights and growth. It's here that we'll work hand in hand to develop the tools you need to restore and support yourself over time.
Achieve and Elevate
Our ultimate goal is your empowerment and self-sufficiency. As you gain new tools, you'll reach a point where you're ready to navigate life's challenges independently, and therapy won't be necessary anymore. But remember, life is ever-evolving, and if new challenges arise, we are here to offer support whenever you need it.
What Our Clients Say
Testimonals
Healing
"I have suffered from depression, anxiety and ptsd for 45 years. I have received much therapy, anti-depressants and various other treatments with little or no relief. Andrea Addie gave me a solution for understanding and truly healing my past trauma...I am so grateful now that I love and care for myself for the first time as an adult...I could not have done this without her. I greatly recommend her to help you too!"

Growth
"Having had many therapists over the years, it’s fair to say Andrea is one of the best! She’s professional, yet warm—able to listen, support and guide with consistency and experience. Her cultural sensitivity and use of various techniques allowed me to get the most out of my sessions during times of crisis and stability."
