Trauma therapist in Houston, TX and online
HELPING others bring balance back into LIFE.
Have you ever found yourself saying “I didn’t always use to be like this,” or “I need to get back to my old self again?” If you’ve been yearning for the insight and tools to spark change and return to yourself, you’re in the right place.
The time is now to get LIFE back on track.
I'm Andréa Addie, and I specialize in assisting adults and LGBTQIA+ individuals much like you those longing to thrive after life's challenges. I staunchly believe that you possess the strength within to make thriving your norm. My role is to help you tap into that power, gather and sort the pieces of your life, and make sense of everything so you can move forward.
“The single most useful concept in [Karen Horney’s Neurosis and Human Growth] was the notion that the human being has an inbuilt propensity toward self-realization. If obstacles are removed, Horney believed, the individual will develop into a mature, fully realized adult, just as an acorn will develop into an oak tree… What I had to do was to identify and remove obstacles. The rest – the desire to grow, with curiosity, will, zest for life, caring, loyalty, or any of the myriad of characteristics that make us fully human - would follow automatically fueled by the selfactualizing forces within the patient.”
― Irvin D. Yalom
I am dedicated to helping people soar and flourish.
My utmost aim in our work together is to help you discover relief, empowerment, and happiness. I'm equipped with a diverse toolbox of therapeutic approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
​
I help my clients find relief, empowerment, and happiness by equipping them with the tools they need to better understand themselves and gain control over the situation.
I know your circumstances are as unique as you are, and that the journey to a fulfilled life isn't one-size-fits-all. That's why I tailor these evidence-based interventions specifically to you, with your aspirations in mind. Therapy with me is a collaborative process, where we'll co-design a roadmap to progress that resonates with your individuality.
