Our Innovative Team
We ACT!
Ashreil Andre, LCI
I set my intentions to be a leader for others, specifically those in the at risk community, through the therapeutic alliance that allows for me to guide them towards holistic health and homeostasis. As a s licensed therapist, I enlighten clients about therapeutic skills and techniques that bring internal change and hope for an effective resolve to their circumstances; in turn, they become their own change agent in their personal lives as well as in the lives of others! I am privy to working with those with anxiety, depression, women's issues, workplace stress, adjustment disorder, anger issues, trauma, LGBTQ issues, infidelity & affairs, couples/family counseling, chronic pain/ illnesses , ADHD and more.
I pride myself on working to help achieve holistic health because achieving homeostasis requires balance in the mind, body, and spirit. We simply start by creating an environment where confidentiality is of the highest regards; patience and courage is provided for each individual’s journey/process; implicit biases are dissociated from the therapeutic process.
I deem it important to help create insight, challenge thought patterns/schemas, and provide encouragement to help you nourish a healthy and helpful perspective that pushes you to live the life that you desire to live. Therapy theories used to achieve this mission are, but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma Informed Care, Family Structural Therapy, Mindfulness-based Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Please reach out if you are ready to take your next steps!
