Andrea Cordell Proper

Hello my name is Andrea Cordell Proper and I am an LCPC and MD Board Approved Supervisor in Frederick, MD. I believe the journey surrounding mental health is uniquely individual and deeply personal. I bring empathy, trust, understanding and humor to each experience. Working with adults across a life span. Areas of expertise include postpartum mood disorders, perimenopausal and menopausal impacts on mental health, trauma, anxiety and ADHD.

I have special interest in best practices for treating perinatal mood disorders and integrative multicultural approach to female bodied people.

I have lectured as well as designed coursework to further the education, and awareness of best practices for treating postpartum mood disorders across diverse cultures and demographics as well as guest speaker at various colleges and universities on mental health needs related to reproductive health. Meeting people where they are at, holding space and allowing a safe and compassionate place to do the work of healing is my goal with every person.

At the Care of Self Counseling and Wellness Center, we deeply understand each client’s unique gifts and needs, fostering the most authentic version of their "self." Our holistic approach integrates the mind-body connection, addressing emotional, intellectual, physical, spiritual, and social aspects to support comprehensive well-being. We utilize an eclectic mix of up-to-date tools and interventions, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed treatments, mindfulness, energy work, and doula support. Our goal is to help you discover and strengthen the most resilient version of yourself to effectively navigate all areas of life.

In our first session you can expect some questions to better understand the areas of concern you have and together work to identify your needs and a plan to navigate your therapeutic journey.
