Therapist

I take an active role in therapy and typically don't do the minimalistic responses - though there is a time and place for this. I like to have conversational-style dialogue with clients, and feel that I am open and empathic while bringing in humor and "realness" to the session; I show up as my true self as much as possible.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M University, and my MS in Counseling Psychology from SMU.

The primary modalities I find most impactful are EMDR (I am an EMDRIA Certificied EMDR Therapist and EMDR Consultant-In-Training/CIT) with an attachment-focused and polyvagal theory lens.

I hold advanced training in EMDR, ART, Brainspotting, Trauma Conscious Yoga Method, and others. I am an expert in treating trauma with medication-assisted psychotherapy and have completed numerous trainings in training from MAPS PBC, as well as a year-long fellowship in with the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (Headway does not allow these services on their platform).

I am licensed in over 15 states and am a board-approved Associate counselor supervisor in multiple states as well, where I oversee the required supervised hours of associate-level counselors working towards their full licensure status.

In my non-therapy time, I enjoy cooking (and eating - I'm a bit of a foodie), concerts, reading, traveling, being outside, pilates (all hail the reformer!), and playing golf with my husband. We live in Austin, TX with our dog, Otter.

Andrea Avery

Therapist

Virtual • Oakland, ME


I am a down-to-earth, creative therapist with over 11 years of diverse counseling experience. My practice is deeply anchored in biblical truth, allowing me to blend clinical expertise with spiritual guidance.

I hold a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. I chose to become a therapist after my own struggles with mental health & lengthy battle with eating disorders. I am passionate to help others battle similar demons & find freedom.

Throughout my career, I have supported clients across a wide range of settings, including schools, psychiatric inpatient care, probation and parole groups, and dual-diagnosis residential recovery programs. I love to work with children, adolescence, and adults. I am passionate about meeting people exactly where they are and walking alongside them on their journey to healing.

Angelica Levy

Therapist

Virtual • Maine


Hello! I am accepting new clients at this time.


My name is Angelica, and I am a clinical-level social worker. I have been working in the field of social services for the past 12 years.

After completing my MSW, I started as a school-based social worker, and I have been doing this ever since. I love being able to help people and hear their stories. Everyone has a story to tell, and someone should be there to support and listen.

I think of myself as a responsive, strengths-based, and empathetic counselor. I think everyone deserves grace, and often everyone is going through something that no one knows about. I have had the privilege to work with a wide variety of people, including youth, adults, elderly, adolescents, people with disabilities, and many other people in between. From crisis intervention services, to individual, to group-based therapy, and social skills groups. I have dabbled in a bit of everything in the field so far. I like getting to know the person I am working with, and then coming up with a plan together about what can help!

Mental health struggles impact everyone. It is up to us to take action to seek out those professionally trained to help us navigate our challenges. This assists us in achieving our goals of better coping, higher functioning, and creating stronger connections that result in happier, more resilient and better versions of ourselves. I have experience working with clients from every socioeconomic background and most diagnoses including those who struggle with the lasting effects of ongoing or past substance use and trauma. I have a greater understanding of the impacts declining mental health can have on every aspect of our lives.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Portland, ME


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the field I specialize in supporting individuals navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, adjustment and the complex emotional impact of narcissistic and antagonistic relationships. I am also deeply committed to acknowledging and addressing cultural and racial experiences that often shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us.

My work is grounded in building trust and creating a safe, warm environment where you are met with compassion—not judgment. I believe healing begins when you feel heard, understood, and supported exactly where you are. Together, we will work at a pace that honors your story, personal experiences and your strengths, focusing on building emotional clarity, resilience, and empowerment along the way.
