Andrea-Lynne DeCrosta

Welcome! My name is Andrea-Lynne DeCrosta, LCSW. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years' experience working with older teens and adults. My passion is to help you break unhealthy patterns and behaviors, so you may live a more fulfilling and abundant life. My approach to therapy is holistic and person centered. This means I tailor treatment towards your individual needs and goals. I use various approaches to therapy to help you gain the confidence to make needed changes in your life. I welcome all individuals seeking solutions to their particular life challenges and am happy to work with each of you where you are at. I am happy to help with any challenge you are facing with particular focus on anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My approach

My approach to therapy is holistic, person centered and individual to your needs. Together, we will formulate a treatment plan that works for you to meet your goals in therapy. My approach is eclectic in that I deliver therapy in a way that you can understand and participate in the solutions you need for your particular life circumstances. Specifically, I use CBT, family systems, interpersonal and other approaches that I think will work well for you.

My focus

The clients I work with are teenagers to adults, including elders. I have successfully treated people with anxiety, depression, trauma histories and relationship issues. I also work with those dealing with medical issues, as well as situational concerns.

My communication style

I create a safe environment for you to explore your thoughts and emotions surrounding the most difficult situations in your life. I am an active listener and take my queues from you and the subjects you want to explore together. Your readiness to delve into any topic is of utmost concern and I will provide an inviting environment that promotes wellness and helps you to thrive in your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I work from the perspective of both personal and professional experience with life challenges and problems. I often can relate to much of what you are experiencing. From the information you share, I will help you resolve seemingly impossible issues, holding your well-being as the number one priority for our sessions together.

My goals for you

Together, we will set goals for your overall therapy experience, as well as for each session. I will ensure we touch upon the topics most important to you and keep you on track so we can work towards a more positive outlook on life.

My first session with you

During our first session, we will explore your reasons for coming to therapy, as well as providing some background and family history. We will then work together to find the most effective strategies to address your concerns.
