Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Olympia, 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 believe therapy is most effective when it feels safe, collaborative, and human. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and non-judgmental, with an emphasis on helping clients feel understood while building insight and emotional resilience.

I am a licensed therapist with advanced training in trauma-informed and parts-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS). I work primarily with adults, parents, and caregivers navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the impact of complex or relational trauma. Many of my clients are managing over-responsibility, boundary challenges, or the pressures of caregiving and midlife transitions.

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and support clients exploring identity, authenticity, and belonging. I also enjoy working with parents of neurodiverse children and who may be neurodiverse themselves. My style blends evidence-based practices with warmth and flexibility, helping clients feel more grounded, connected to themselves, and better equipped to meet their lives with clarity and confidence.

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.
