Counseling Style

Andrea’s counseling style is Adlerian. Adlerians believe that people are creative and possess courage. People want to feel significant, connected and capable. All people have these needs and try to get these needs met by belonging. People’s thoughts and actions are embedded in this quest to belong, therefore all human behavior has a purpose and meaning that moves people toward their goal(s) of belonging. Patterns and themes develop that reflect people’s goals. Sometimes these goals become discouraged. As a counselor, it is her job to encourage clients to recognize their patterns, understand the meaning of their behavior, and implement goals that will work for them.
