Andrea Ziebell

Andrea Ziebell creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely. As a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (CA LMFT 79100) with 15 years of experience, she collaborates with clients to tailor sessions to their specific concerns and to develop a clear strategy for reaching their goals.

In her work Andrea offers attentive listening and validation so clients feel heard and supported - clients are reminded they are not alone. She draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to find the method that fits each individual.

For those new to therapy Andrea can provide psychoeducation about symptoms and practical ways to manage them, explore coping strategies that build on strengths, suggest journaling or optional homework assignments, and help create a wellness plan that includes other activities. She also works on communication skills, anger management techniques, and uses solution-focused approaches or cognitive behavioral therapy when appropriate.

Andrea’s background includes experience in mental health and substance abuse work, and she has supported clients affected by legal issues. Her clinical interests are informed by life experience and by prior work with abused and neglected children as well as with adult clients in inpatient and outpatient treatment settings. She looks forward to meeting and beginning a collaborative process.
