About me
Hello, I'm Holly Andres, and I have been practicing for over 28 years since Master's degree and over 25 years with my clinical license as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I currently practice in Nevada, since November of 2001, and had previously practiced in both Missouri and Kansas.
I completed an intensive fellowship in Cognitive Therapy at The Overkand Park Center for Cognitive Therapy from 1994 thru 1998. I have additional training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) @ The Maiberger Institute in Boulder CO , 2014-2015. I also have training specific to gambling addiction (2006) as well as addictions for substance abuse, including alcohol (1996-2000) .
I enjoy working with teens and have done so my entire career, whether in outpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatric or residential psychiatric settings. I have also worked with adults and senior adults in those same settings and specialize in addressing grief, crisis and trauma. My full history can be found on the internet under my name, Holly A.

I have worked with couples and families throughout my career in a variety of settings, and enjoy this work.

I am so appreciative of Holly. I started out with her at a very low point in my life. I was so nervous and apprehensive to open up. Holly made me comfortable enough to share a tiny bit. And little by little she asked the right questions to not only help me open up but to get me thinking. She's helped me build my confidence, change my inner dialogue and deal with past traumas. I'm in a much better place now. I look forward to our sessions. I highly recommend Holly.

I appreciate how her intake session was very helpful at holding space and listening while I was able to emotionally release. I’m looking forward to see what else we can delve into since I’ve barely started on this arc. Thank you.
