Andrea Lockhart, PhD

If you are looking for an active therapist who provides support as well as tools and strategies to address whatever issues are getting in the way of a fulfilling and productive life, I can help. I have over 25 years of experience and have had the privilege of helping people in all life stages with a variety of concerns. Though I have a passion for working with all kinds of people and issues, I have a particular interest in working with families throughout the pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood stages of life. When working with clients, I use a strength-based approach with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which addresses dysfunctional patterns of thinking. I think of these patterns as "thought traps" that all people get stuck in once in awhile. In order to get unstuck, we have to be able to notice that we are stuck in a trap. Therefore, I incorporate mindfulness techniques to help develop this ability. I also integrate Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills whenever needed. In addition, I have training Perinatal Mental Health, Early Childhood Mental Health, Trauma interventions, Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD, and numerous others. Rest assured, no matter what you are seeking help with, I would love to help guide you to improved mental health and satisfaction with life.
