Andrea Plate, LCSW
About me
I am licensed in California, with 18 years of professional work experience. For nearly 15 years I ran a residential substance abuse treatment program within the West Los Angeles Department of Veterans Affairs, serving those suffering from homelessness and chronic mental illness. Now working with individuals in the population at large, I do my best to help clients cope with: anxiety, personal and professional setbacks, addiction, major life changes, relationship conflicts and career concerns. I also refine and enhance my practice through teaching social welfare and addiction at a major West Los Angeles university. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Additional areas of focus: Communication problems, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Post-traumatic stress, Women's issues, Workplace issues

This experience has so far been beyond helpful and exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much.
