Training & Consulting

Helping organizations increase their capacity to provide evidence-based and effective approaches to integrated mental health care is a passion that allows me to increase the impact of my clinical experience and training.

“I attended Andrea’s Trauma-Informed Care training seminar that Eastern AHEC sponsored. I was so impressed by her that I returned to my agency and insisted that we hire her as a consultant to help us become a trauma-informed agency. Not only is Andrea highly energetic, knowledgable, and skillful in all facets of Trauma-Informed Care, she is also a master change agent. Our patients and staff benefitted greatly from all of the trauma-informed practices we implemented as a result of Andrea’s year-and-a-half with us.”
