Andrea Shields Marriage & Family Therapy, LLC

Individuals, Couples & Families

Individuals

I offer individual therapy for children (7+), adolescents and adults. I work with issues including but not limited to anxiety, behavioral issues, depression, parenting, school issues, and self-confidence building.

I strive to give clients the skills that they can take from the session into their daily lives; to achieve a more fulfilling relationship and deeper connections.

Families & Couples

I enjoy helping families learn the skills of cooperation, compassion, and understanding to help the family unit work, communicate and grow with each other.

I also work with couples in varying dynamics in their relationships. We work on restoring open and honest communication, breaking destructive patterns and manage the different phases of a relationship.

In couples’ session we strive to give couples the skills that they can take from the session into their daily lives; to achieve a more fulfilling relationship and a deeper connection.

Why do I love cairns (and why they are around my office)?

I have always loved stacked rocks for their beauty however their meaning brings a special piece to my practice: They have been used throughout history to mark one's personal passage through an area.

In my opinion it's a beautiful reminder of where we have been and where we are headed.
