Andrea Siegel, LCSWA
It is my great pleasure to introduce Andrea Siegel, Ph.D., LCSW-A, to the community as she joins us at Out of the Woods! She comes to us with a wide variety of experiences as a clinician, and just some of her clinical interests include life transitions, guilt, shame, and moral injury, and working with erotically marginalized individuals. Andrea’s primary therapeutic specialization is in supporting clients with spirituality, which covers a vast spectrum of desires, goals, and concerns, grounding the therapeutic work in an honoring of a client’s spiritual path.
Andrea reached out to us while contemplating a move back to Western North Carolina, and we were eager to bring her to our team. When I spoke with Andrea in an initial interview, I was so profoundly and genuinely excited by her clinical interests and philosophical approach to the work that it was difficult for me to remain on task. Andrea incorporates her rich lived experiences and background of providing intensive caregiving to loved ones, integrative health and chaplaincy, and international studies into her approach as a clinician. She has a discerning eye and open-hearted vision toward the possibilities of what a therapy can bring to her clients, and has a curiosity and creativity that is readily apparent in how she talks about clinical work.
Andrea incorporates different cognitive behavioral approaches and Internal Family Systems Therapy into her work. I especially love what she wrote herself on her profile: “Whatever your life experiences, political affiliations, gender identities, or relationship structures, you are warmly welcome here.”
“Warmly welcome here” truly describes Andrea. If you’d like to read more about Andrea, please go here.
