Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Gig Harbor, WA

I am Andrea Smalls. I have been practicing since 2005 and licensed since 2007. I have a Master of Arts in Counseling and Guidance. I have worked in various settings including intensive outpatient, inpatient, private practice, and telehealth. I have worked with a variety of diagnoses to assist others in stabilizing mental health and regulating emotions.

Welcome to your healing journey! I've been a Transpersonal Psychotherapist for over 15 years offering mental, emotional and spiritual guidance. I help you heal your relationship to your self through self-trust, self-love and self-acceptance. My approach is shown to improve anxiety, depression, relationships & the lasting effects of trauma. Some of the methods I utilize include meditation, guided visualization, hypnotherapy, dream work, expressive arts, journaling, movement & breathwork.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working with adults and families, I look forward to partnering with you and offering support as we navigate some of the curveballs that life throws your way.

I have my BA in psychology from Saint Martin’s University and an MSW from the University of Washington. I became a licensed independent clinical social worker providing individual and couples therapy, parenting assessments and group therapy work. I also have experience in medical social work.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you create meaningful change in your life.

I believe that success looks different for everyone. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be—whether that’s improving your mental health, navigating life transitions, or building healthier patterns and relationships. Together, we’ll identify what’s working, what’s not, and develop tools that help you feel more confident and in control.

I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also being gently challenged to grow in ways that align with your goals

A big passion of mine is supporting moms through all stages of motherhood. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, adjusting to life as a new mom, balancing work and family, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to find yourself again outside of motherhood — you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Motherhood can be beautiful and exhausting all at once, and I love creating a space where moms can feel supported, understood, and able to show up for themselves too.
