Andrea Deases is glad visitors found her profile and supports those taking steps to address their mental health. She is passionate about providing mental health services and about reducing the stigma that can accompany seeking care.

She earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at Tyler and practices as a licensed professional counselor in Texas (license number TX LPC 76254). She brings five years of clinical experience and has worked across a variety of settings with diverse populations.

Her experience includes counseling in crisis centers with people facing severe depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia; working with children, adolescents, and families at a community counseling center to improve communication, set healthy boundaries, and build healthier home environments; and supporting adults through anxiety, life transitions, loss, depression, and low self-esteem.

Using an eclectic framework that blends cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, narrative therapy, and person-centered methods, she partners with clients to pursue meaningful progress in their mental health.

She looks forward to the possibility of meeting clients and supporting their next steps.
