Andrea Dugan, MA, LPC

People enter therapy for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you’ve been in crisis, chronic stress, or are feeling things fall apart. Or maybe you’ve lost a loved one, or experienced a change in connection with a partner, nature or your own life force. Maybe a life-transition has increased your anxiety, or you’re having trouble sleeping, or you haven’t been able to care for the needs of your mind, heart, spirit and body. Whatever the reason, I believe people enter therapy to find relief, feel better and inhabit their lives more fully.

My approach offers you a means to work towards strength, resiliency, life meaning, and increased health and happiness. Together we explore what led to your current symptoms (anxiety, frustration, difficult communications, etc.), and try to better understand how past and present experiences currently affect your life. We collaborate to find tools and solutions that fit best for you to grow towards your goals.

As an adult, family, adolescent and child psychotherapist, I practice from a framework that is heart-centered, wellness-based, and experiential to address a broad range of concerns. I’m inspired by a range of psychological approaches so in our sessions I may utilize mindfulness, talk and play therapy, skill building, and/or experiential methods to support you. Whether we focus on a specific issue or a long-standing pattern, I will do my best to be in service to your healing.

I enjoy working creatively with people that want to be more in balance in their lives and are interested in self-awareness, freedom and growth. In our work together I become your witness, sometimes guide and mirror, and open-hearted believer in balance, happiness and health. I look forward to meeting with you.
