Andrea Clarke Uter

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Virginia


As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) from Walden University, I am deeply passionate about delivering patient-centered care and committed to advocating for individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. With over eight years of experience working with patients, families, and communities affected by mental illness, I have developed a profound understanding of the importance of compassionate and individualized care.

My professional journey began as a registered nurse, where I came to realize that mental illness is no respecter of person, age, color, or social status. This experience reinforced my belief that every individual facing mental health challenges deserves a patient-centered, personalized, and holistic approach to their care.

As a PMHNP, my goal is to serve as a source of strength and support through active listening, empathy, and compassion. I strive to provide an evidence-based approach tailored to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring that every individual feels heard, valued, and empowered on their path to wellness.

Do you feel unsettled or that you're not where you want to be in life? Maybe you’re wondering if you’ll ever be a “good enough” partner, wife, mother, friend, or just good enough, in general. Or you’re faced with an important life decision like marriage, a new job, or whether or not to have a baby. You can’t really put your finger on why these decisions are so hard for you and that keeps you stuck and feeling anxious all the time. You have a hard time trusting your gut or listening to that quiet voice inside you that’s telling you something’s not right.


Thoughts and feelings like these can be so upsetting. And yet they are very common among women. That’s where I come in. I work with women just like you who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and perinatal issues such as postpartum depression. I offer a safe, non judgmental space to explore these feelings and get relief.


Learn ways of managing difficult thoughts and feelings and achieve the life you want for yourself. Sessions are exclusively online. You can receive the help in the privacy and comfort of a setting of your choosing. Online counseling is great for caregivers, busy professionals, those with health issues, or anyone who wants the flexibility telehealth offers.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, or a major life transition, I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood.

I'm Sorlyz, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Therapist with over eight years of experience helping children, adolescents, and adults.

This experience allows me to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and tailor therapy to each person's unique needs.

Together, we'll build practical coping skills, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
