Andrea Durkee

Andrea Durkee is a licensed professional counselor. She really enjoys working with adults, families, and especially children. She has experience in helping individuals with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, divorce, child behavior issues, ADHD, mild autism, separation anxiety, OCD, school issues and social skill issues, among others.

Andrea likes to build rapport and trust with each person she sees. She assesses the needs and the unique personality and strengths of each individual. She is able to draw on her years of experience working in community mental health, a family residential program, and as a school counselor. Working in a school gives her insight into how a child’s symptoms can impact their school life and the kinds of interventions that can help.

Andrea's approach is client-centered therapy, which can include cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, play therapy, psychoeducation, and others. She also uses art, games, and books with children to provide guided experiential learning. Whatever issue brings a person to counseling, her goal is to provide a caring and helpful experience.
