Andrea Cantor
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)
Empowering young adults, women, and couples to confidently navigate life transitions, reproductive mental health, and relationship challenges.
I specialize in women's reproductive mental health, including issues like abortion and post-abortion challenges, fertility concerns, birth trauma, pregnancy loss, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and other prenatal, pregnancy, and postpartum concerns. I also work with couples navigating conflict, dating, infidelity, intimacy challenges, divorce, and separation. If you're managing mood or personality disorders, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, or navigating significant life transitions, I'm here to help. Together, we'll create a safe space where you can explore your feelings, develop new insights, and find actionable strategies to move forward. I tailor sessions to meet your unique needs using techniques like CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and a strengths-based perspective. My goal is to help you accept yourself, confront challenges confidently, and find balance and satisfaction in your life. Let's work together to equip you with the skills and strategies to embrace your authentic self and build a fulfilling life.
