Andrea Sullivan

“When life feels unstable, therapy starts with helping you feel safer and steadier.”

Hello, I’m Andrea!

I often see women who have been told their case is “too much”, or that they just need medication and they’ll be fine. I help women who have been told by friends, family, and partners that they are “difficult.”

Do you struggle to trust yourself, hold onto relationships, build emotional stability, control impulses, or find peace in the middle of chaos? Navigating bipolar disorder, borderline personality, trauma, and addiction can make you question who you are. Having these experiences may be a part of you—but they do not define you. I am here to help you learn to be the person you want to be despite the ups and downs.

I specialize in working with women using intensive DBT training, along with CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Seeking Safety, and other evidence-based approaches. My focus is bipolar and mood disorders, borderline personality, women’s issues, complex trauma, and the ways these often overlap. I offer practical tools to calm a racing mind, stabilize mood, quiet the harsh inner critic, and build genuine self-confidence so you can start to feel more like yourself. We’ll move at your pace to safely build lasting skills for change.

You are not your disorder. You are a human who deserves to feel at peace in your mind and more at home in your own skin—and I’m here to help you get there. In our work together you’ll have a calm, judgment-free space where you can be honest. We’ll start by building safety and stability, and create a treatment plan that fits you, because everyone is different.

I have over four years of experience across outpatient, crisis, inpatient, community mental health, and substance use settings. My approach is straightforward, collaborative, and practical. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be glad to meet you.

    • DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
      DBT is a skills-based therapy that helps you manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and improve relationships. It teaches practical skills in areas like emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and communication.

      ACT helps you learn how to stop struggling against difficult thoughts and feelings and instead focus on living according to your values. It emphasizes acceptance, mindfulness, and taking meaningful action even when emotions are hard.

      MI is a collaborative, non-judgmental approach that helps you explore ambivalence and strengthen your motivation for change. It’s especially helpful if you feel stuck or unsure about making changes in areas like substance use, habits, or life direction.
