Andrea Tivers, LCSW

Psychotherapist
Oakland CA
My approach is rooted in active dialogue and collaborative experimentation. I focus on guiding clients toward authenticity, self-compassion, and greater peace of mind by exploring their unique experiences and strengths. Together, we will work to transform the patterns that shape your life, fostering personal growth and resilience.
My work with clients is rooted in the belief that every person has the capacity to heal, and that healing begins with understanding how feelings, beliefs, and behavioral patterns develop and become ingrained over time. From there, we can harness your strengths and shift both unconscious and conscious limiting beliefs. I utilize Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP) to help individuals break free from entrenched patterns, providing a unique opportunity for deep introspection, emotional release, and the development of new pathways out of suffering. I am deeply passionate about supporting clients who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties, and parenting while seeking new ways to care for themselves. I believe that there is a resilience residing within each of us to create new pathways out of suffering. Through active dialogue, collaborative experimentation, and sometimes the integration of psychedelic therapies, I guide clients toward a life of authenticity, self-compassion, and greater peace of mind.
