About Andrea Samayoa-Sosa, ASW
I'm Andrea and I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker.
What would it look like if you could finally feel at ease in your own
skin and in your relationships? Over time, you've developed different
strategies to protect yourself; maybe you give until there's nothing
left, or maybe you create distance before anyone gets too close.
You're running on empty, and the traditional therapy you've tried
hasn't broken through those familiar patterns. If you recognize what
you're doing but feel powerless to change it, I'm here to walk
alongside you.
Perhaps your childhood was unpredictable, emotionally cold, or filled
with judgment, and now small conflicts send you into fight-or-flight
mode. You've masked parts of yourself for so long that you wonder if
anyone could accept the real you. Your thoughts loop endlessly, your
inner voice is unforgiving, and you swing between feeling everything
and feeling nothing. Beneath it all is a longing to simply be
yourself. As a therapist, I help you slow things down and work with
your nervous system, not against it. Together, we build safety and new
ways of relating so you can break survival patterns and experience
more ease, connection, and authenticity.
I support adults repeating the same relational dynamics while managing
neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, or trauma. We'll examine how
your earliest connections taught your body what to expect from
closeness and self-worth, then build new pathways that honor who you
are. My work weaves together Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy to shift what feels unmovable, then
integrate those insights into everyday change. I bring trauma-informed
and neurodivergent-affirming practices to help you create a life that
fits your unique wiring and values.
My work is rooted in social justice. What you're experiencing isn't
solely personal, it's been influenced by oppressive systems like white
supremacy, ableism, capitalism, and others that target marginalized
communities. If past therapy left you feeling invisible, pathologized,
or not taken seriously, my goal is for you to feel truly witnessed and
believed.
If you're ready to shift from self-protection to authentic living, I'd
be honored to work together. Let's explore your experiences and design
an approach tailored specifically to you.
