Andrea Bass

Andrea is a seasoned psychotherapist and art therapist who has worked with children, adolescents and adults for over 35 years. In her sessions with youth, Andrea provides art therapy, play therapy, sandplay and mindfulness -based cognitive behavioral therapy along with teaching and practicing self-regulation skills with children and parents to help calm and stabilize the nervous system and build greater resilience. With adults, Andrea offers somatic-based therapy, art therapy, sandplay, EMDR, Brainspotting, ego-state therapy and mindfulness practices. Areas of specialization include grief/loss, trauma, depression and anxiety.

In our healing journey together, connection to our emotions, our body (somatic mindfulness), our creativity and life force brings deeper relationships with others and a greater connection to ourselves. Andrea feels honored to accompany you on this journey while providing skillful guidance, attunement and resources along the way. With compassion, warmth, kindness and acceptance, I offer many approaches and pathways toward healing and realizing your inherent Wholeness.

During our first session together, we collaboratively identify and explore strengths and challenges, goals and areas for further growth. Psychoeducation may be provided including teaching of self-regulation skills, mindfulness and sharing of internal and external resources.
