Andrea Alleyne, PhD, LCSW, CFNMP

As a young girl when I was asked,"What do you want to do when you grow up?" My answer would be, "I want to make people smile." I associated smiling with happiness and feeling physically well. I suffered with anxiety and later in my teenage years and early adulthood with depression. So feeling well physically and mentally was extremely important to me and when I discovered my own strengths and ability to manage my symptoms I wanted to help others do the same. For the last 20 plus years I have been honored to help individuals find their strengths and be their best self.

I take a holistic approach or what I call a three dimensional perspective to get to the source of an individual's complaint (mentally, physically, and spiritually). I then use psycho-education, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused modality, and functional medicine to design an individualized treatment plan. As well as utilizing natural alternatives that in many cases are just as effective as prescribed medications.

The first visit will consist of an in-depth consultation in a no judgment zone. I will provide a safe space for you to freely express your thoughts, feelings, and problems that you are experiencing.

My life experiences and overcoming challenges inspired me to want to help others discover their own ability to overcome difficulties.
