When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be ~ Lao Tzo
Thank you for taking the time to stop by. I am very glad you are here. I recognize that taking the first step toward getting help can be very difficult at times. I will do my best to ensure that you have a comfortable and meaningful experience in our sessions.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) in the state of New York. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Hunter College School of Social Work in NYC and have over 29 years of behavioral health experience. I have worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as addiction, depression/stress, anxiety, anger, family problems, guilt/shame, trauma/abuse, separation/divorce, relationships/parenting and more.
My therapy approach is solution focused, client centered, collaborative and strength-based. The goal of therapy is not to tell you what to do, but to work with you to help you achieve your goals; goals that we will set up together. I can direct, assist, advise, inform, or educate based on your needs. You are the expert in yourself.
I know how hard it can be to find a therapist who you feel a connection with and I would be honored to work with you through this stage of your life.
Should you feel in need of urgent help or that you are in crisis at any time during our work together; please call 1-800-273-TALK 24 hours a day; or 911. This forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so I want to be sure you know who to contact if you need immediate help.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Andrea Corson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have been with Andrea for over a year now. She has helped me in all aspects of life. From budgeting to stress to mental health to grief to Interpersonal and work boundaries. You name it, she’s got a perspective to challenge, broaden, enlighten and/or strengthen you. She makes me comfortable and is truly nonjudgmental. The first therapist I can be myself with.

Andrea makes therapy feel like I’m talking to a long lost friend. I love how she relates and builds that relationship which makes it easy to discuss uncomfortable topics. She is encouraging, understanding and brings positivity into every session. She also leaves you feeling better than when you came in. She is amazing!
