About
Meet Andrea Cottee
I’m Andrea Cottee, a Registered Psychotherapist with a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. With years of experience working with individuals of all ages—including adults, caregivers, children, adolescents, and families—I specialize in trauma recovery, behavioral management, addiction issues, anger management, and social-emotional growth. My journey in mental health care began with a background as an Occupational Therapist, and I’ve also worked extensively in Autism and Behavioral Sciences, as well as in employment counseling.
Through all of these experiences, I’ve learned that healing begins with a strong, trusting relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, validated, and supported. Together, I will work to explore the root causes of your challenges, gain deeper insight into yourself, and develop the tools necessary to make meaningful changes.
Whether you're navigating trauma, struggling with anxiety or stress, dealing with behavioral issues, or facing life transitions, I am here to help you feel better and live the life you’ve always dreamed of.
Personalized Approach to Therapy
Every individual is unique, and my approach to therapy is carefully tailored to meet your specific needs. By drawing on a range of evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Polyvagal Theory, I provide tools and strategies to help you:
- Gain control over your emotions
- Break free from limiting patterns
- Build resilience for life’s challenges
Through collaboration, we set realistic goals, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. I’ll be with you every step of the way, celebrating your progress and empowering you to thrive.
Commitment
I am committed to providing a compassionate, supportive environment where you can feel safe, heard, and empowered. Therapy is not just about talking—it’s about understanding, healing, and taking actionable steps toward a better life.
Whether you choose to work with me in-person or virtually, you can expect a personalized approach that respects your unique pace and prioritizes your individual goals. Together, we will navigate your journey to healing, growth, and lasting transformation.
