Intro
Hello there! I'm Andrea, a licensed professional counselor and marriage and family therapist in Texas. My focus is on understanding each client's unique strengths and challenges and empowering them to navigate their lives confidently. I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques and continually educate myself to stay informed about the latest research and the evolving needs of the neurodivergent community
Upon the diagnosis of their children, many adult clients discover that they may themselves be on the autism spectrum. This realization often brings a sense of relief as it explains their cognitive and emotional experiences. However, these individuals are frequently uncertain about how to proceed with this newfound awareness. I aspire to assist them in navigating their lives by equipping them with the necessary tools and support to embrace their authentic selves.
In my private practice, I have expanded to serve neurodivergent and autistic clients. My experience with them has emphasized the importance of approaching therapy from a strengths-based perspective. When working with autistic adults, my focus is to assist clients in expressing their identity and what is important to them. Many autistic adults may not have learned to advocate for themselves in this way, as they have often been encouraged to change who they are. My objective is to support them in embracing their authentic selves
