As an attachment-oriented Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in working with individuals struggling with high functioning anxiety and couples stuck in disconnection that has disrupted their relationship intimacy. The individuals I work with often have an internal monologue of being "not good enough", internally wrestling with doubts regarding their own value and abilities regardless of accomplishments. My goal is to help clients by changing their relationship to anxiety through understanding what has contributed to its over-functioning in their lives and building a sense of internal security that allows them to thrive.

Hi! I’m Andrea Graziano, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York State and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I work with adults to help ameliorate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I have found that people feel empowered when they are able to shed old thoughts and habits. They feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook as a result of building new skills.

My aim for therapy, regardless of our approach or goals, is to help clients become better versions of themselves through building insight and identifying long-term behavior changes. Clients can expect a laid back approach from me with inquisitive interactions aimed at helping clients learn more about themselves and what motivates their behaviors and decision making.

My ideal client seeks a safe space to explore and work on themselves, facing stress, self-doubt, relationship issues, life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, or other stressors. They want someone who provides active listening, compassion, and tools to support their goals. These goals might include increased self-awareness, setting healthy boundaries, developing coping skills, self-acceptance, clarity, and purpose in life, or mind-body-spirit healing. They aim for greater joy, peace, and satisfaction, living in alignment with their values and purpose.

Clients can experience a life situation or a series of life situations that cause some level of unwanted emotional arousal (sadness, hurt, pain, fear, anxiety) and as a result of the intensity, increases an urge to do a behavior they consider ineffective (self harm, suicidal behavior, isolate, withdrawal, shutdown, verbally/physically aggressive, tantrums, obsessions, compulsions, avoidance, school refusal). They are in need of skills to help them cope with their emotions and problem solve their life situations. Despite the discomfort, they want to be effective, maintain relationships and feel better.
