Andrea Theis, LMSW

I believe therapy isn't about "fixing" you—it's about understanding the parts of yourself that carry pain and recognizing how those parts have worked hard to help you cope, even when those strategies are no longer serving you. My goal is to provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel truly understood, and begin exploring your inner world with curiosity rather than self-criticism.

As an IFS Institute Level 1–trained therapist, I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients better understand the different parts of themselves that can feel overwhelming, conflicted, or stuck in painful patterns. Together, we'll get to know the anxious part that can't stop worrying, the inner critic that never seems satisfied, the part that reacts impulsively, or the part that keeps replaying past mistakes. Through this respectful, evidence-informed approach, you'll learn to access your calm, grounded core Self while healing the experiences that have kept these protective patterns in place.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, and major life transitions. Whether you're navigating a new chapter in life, feeling uncertain about your direction, struggling with stress, or finding yourself caught in patterns that seem difficult to change, IFS can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe healing occurs when every part of us feels seen, heard, and understood. Rather than simply managing symptoms, I strive to help clients cultivate greater self-compassion, emotional balance, resilience, and confidence in navigating life's challenges. My hope is that you leave therapy feeling more connected to yourself, more empowered in your relationships, and better equipped to move forward with clarity, purpose, and a renewed sense of well-being.
