Andrea Shipley, LPC

My clients describe me as:

My patients appreciate being truly heard and understood in therapy with me. They're often seen more deeply in sessions than in their daily lives.

Something to know about my approach is:

Mindfulness is so helpful as people are learning more about themselves and improving their coping skills. It helps them engage more fully in life, moment by moment and make healthier choices rather than living in default mode.

Together, we will:

Together we'll dive into what matters most to you. It's your life and you're the expert in your experience. I'll guide you and help you make new connections based on what we discover and what goals you commit to working on.

I specialize in working with people who:

You have a strong interest in developing self-awareness. You may be noticing excess anxiety, difficult relationship dynamics, or the lows of depression. Or maybe you're asking deep spiritual or existential questions that your peers never mention.

I became a therapist because:

I've always been fascinated with psychology and what makes people do what they do. I've also benefited from therapy at various points in my life.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I provide all sessions as video calls on Zoom. I'm not currently seeing any patients in person. I travel full-time, mostly in a converted school bus.

More about me and my practice:

I think outside of the usual box, which helps my patients explore new perspectives and achieve their therapeutic goals. In 2017, I decided to build a lifestyle that would allow me the freedom to travel now instead of waiting for retirement.
