“Discussing positive experiences leads to heightened well-being, increased overall life satisfaction and even more energy”
Nathaniel Lambert
Welcome to Seasons of Change
My name is Andrea Stocker (she/her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in CA, CO, and OR. I am currently located in Tehachapi, CA, but travel often to Colorado Springs where I am expanding my practice.
I am working on my Sex Therapist Certification through AASECT. I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA2S+, kink, and consensual non-monogamy populations. I also specialise in eating disorders.
I believe it is important to align our lives with our values and that is how we are our truest selves. I also believe that we have to treat the whole person when it comes to our mental health. I have lived experience understanding how diet, sleep, exercise, and life events affect my mental health and I bring that into my practice.
My Approach
​
I am often told I am easy to talk to. I take a more casual approach in my practice so you feel like you are talking to a friend. I utilize evidence based practices and am always learning new interventions through classes and self-study. I primarily use Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) but also use some Internal Family Systems and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for a comprehensive approach. I believe in developing a connection so you are able to feel conversation is comfortable and meaningful to help support your healing. I hope to empower you to use new skills and build your strengths to tackle life's challenges.
