Hi, I’m Felicia Andrews.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), and I provide individual and group therapy to adults through my private practice in Los Angeles.
I also see clients virtually across California—including, let’s be honest, plenty of L.A. folks who’d rather skip the traffic. Virtual sessions make it easier to fit therapy into real life, whether it’s between meetings or during a free moment in the day.
I became a social worker because I care deeply about easing emotional pain and helping people feel more connected, to themselves and others. I was drawn to mental health because it’s so often misunderstood, and yet it impacts everything.
I grew up in Los Angeles surrounded by a rich mix of cultures, languages and perspectives. This has shaped how I show up as a therapist. I value openness, respect and curiosity. I prioritize creating a judgment-free environment. I want therapy to feel like a real conversation that is both supportive and challenging, honoring who you are and where you’ve been.
Before becoming a therapist, I earned bachelor’s degrees in History and English from UC Davis, followed by my Master of Social Work from USC. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with young adults, adults and older adults across a range of settings, including UCLA’s Adult PHP and IOP programs.
I’m certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and have completed extensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) through Behavioral Tech. I also hold the Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) from Postpartum Support International, which includes specialized training in perinatal loss and complex reproductive experiences. I currently see patients in UCLA’s Perinatal Intensive Outpatient Program in addition to my private practice.
My ongoing training includes evidence-based approaches, including Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)—a type of therapy that helps people recover from trauma—and Positive Affect Treatment (PAT), which focuses on helping people feel more joy and pleasure when that’s been hard to access. I’m always learning and evolving, drawing from other flexible tools to best meet treatment needs.
When I’m not working, I’m usually chasing my two young kids around, staying up too late reading (I’m in a book club!), or attempting to bake and cook (with mixed results). I’ve been with my husband since our college days, and we still make each other laugh—most of the time
