ANDREA FLOWERS, LPC-MHSP
Counselor/ Play Therapist

Andrea’s consultation style is Adlerian. This means that her consultation style is rooted in the belief that a person is separate from his/her behavior. Behavior is purposive/ goal-directed and relates to how one fits into society. Goals can become discouraged, but they can change. Andrea’s goal is to encourage and empower consultees—to meet them where they are, to not do anything for them that they can do for themselves, emphasize effort not outcome, and promote self-evaluation. The relationship is collaborative, and she will provide opportunities to empower consultees with new knowledge & tools for supporting children in their care. She will act as a fact-finder, a teacher, and an encourager. She will make every effort to point out what is going well, what persons need to continue to do more of, what isn’t going well, and what needs to change.
