Hi! I’m Felicia Andrews, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who provides individual and group therapy to adults in my private practice in Los Angeles.
I became a social worker wanting to reduce suffering in the community and was drawn to mental health as it is often misunderstood. Born and raised in Los Angeles, I’m grateful for the experiences with and connection to different cultures, languages, customs and perspectives. I value being open-minded, non-judgmental and respectful, appreciating and embracing others for their unique backgrounds and experiences.
I have years of clinical experience providing individual and group therapy to young adults, adults and older adults in a variety of treatment settings, including the Adult Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) at UCLA’s Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. I am a certified CBT Therapist through the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies and am trained as a DBT therapist having completed multiple, in-depth trainings through Behavioral Tech. I have completed clinical training in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International including advanced training on clinical and supportive care for perinatal loss, inclusive of miscarriage, stillbirth, complex congenital anomalies, and pregnancy decision making. I regularly bolster my skillset with relevant trainings and have completed trainings in various evidence-based practices such as Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) as well as have training in important approaches such as Trauma Informed Care (TIC).
In addition to seeing clients in my private practice, I work in the Perinatal Intensive Outpatient Program at UCLA’s Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital providing individual and group therapy to perinatal patients. When I am not social working, I spend time with my friends and family, try to bake and cook (sometimes successfully) and love to read (I am in a book club!). I am a married mom of two.
