Resident in Counseling

Hello! My name is Andrea Blanco, and I am a Licensed Therapist at the Manassas, VA clinic. As a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I am motivated to help clients who feel caught between worlds and reach for healing throughout the counseling process. My experience with children, adolescents, and young adults has shown through out my time working at hospital psychiatric units and other outpatient settings. My specialties includes person-centered and cognitive-behavioral strategies, with a strong focus on lived experience. I acknowledge that every client is unique and personalized therapy to what works best for each client.

I take into account how systems of oppression, current life events, and social expectations may impact your mental health. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Expressive Therapy to provide a safe environment for clients to be themselves at ease. I also like to focus on mindfulness and inner peace.

Growing up as a First-Generation Latina, I know the silent weight of generational expectations and the often-unspoken emotional labor. If you are figuring out how to take up space in a world that wasn’t always built for you, just know that I see you, and I’d be honored to support your journey. I look forward to helping clients in their goals and passions.
