Andrea Dewey, Licensed Therapist

I believe in unconditional love, radical acceptance, and fierce self-compassion. If you are not already your own #1 fan, I will help you get used to that role, by modeling it for you whenever we are together. I might tease you if you are being too hard on yourself, but I will never shame you. I don't think people are "crazy" or "broken," but the world we live in certainly can be, and it takes a toll on us. Research indicates that the path to healthy growth is through love and acceptance, not hate. Punishment, shame, and guilt do not heal. Ironically, the more fully we love and accept ourselves, the more able we are to make beneficial, sustainable changes. In my experience, people come to therapy because something isn't working. Let's see if you can feel comfortable enough with me to work on this together.
