Kari is NOT accepting new clients
As a therapist I strive to have an open and honest space for my clients. I specialize in working with children/adolescents (7-17 years), adults, and pregnant women. Together we can address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, LGBTQ+ related concerns (specifically with teens), self-harm and mood disorders. I find it important to collaborate and communicate with clients to decide on the best course of treatment for them. Through the use of evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, CBT for Anxiety (children), Trauma Focused-CBT (children and teens) and play therapy we can begin your journey to mental wellness.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards becoming unstuck. I believe in a person’s ongoing ability to grow and change. The greatest honor of my life is collaborating with people as they explore their own abilities, and access the strength and resilience needed to make and maintain the changes that are most important to them. My ultimate goal is to support and guide you in feeling more balanced, grounded, and connected with yourself. I specialize in treating challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, C-PTSD (complex trauma), substance use disorders, self-harming behaviors, life stressors, and relationship issues. My experience involves working with adolescents (ages 12-17) and adults. I facilitate an environment of openness, confidentiality and non-judgement. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, integrative, collaborative, radically genuine, and rooted in empirically based treatment methods. I am formally trained in treatment models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Polyvagal Theory-based Therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing). As your therapist I will implement the interventions that are going to be the best fit for you, and we will develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to your personal values and needs. When you work with me, you’ll learn to laugh a little more, feel more calm, live life fully, and have confidence in the way you respond to difficult situations. It would be an honor to work with you. Andriana accepts Highmark BCBS of WNY, Cigna, Fidelis, Optum/United Behavioral Health. Out of network rates are $125/Session.

The Williams Institute reports that there are approximately 3.2 million LGBTQ youth between the ages of eight and 18.

Self-Care: Is It Really a Cure-All?
“Self-care” seems like the new and woke response to any mention of anxiety or depression. “I’ve been really anxious today.” “Self-care!” The word gets said again and again until it means almost nothing at all. For many, this could feel invalidating without recognizing a deeper definition of self-care. Here goes some clearer definitions of self-care that won’t leave you feeling ignored, as well as some reasons why “self-care” as a suggestion might stand as an avoidance tactic...
Telling Your Story
When it comes to our memory we don’t often think of it as story telling because our memory is a collection of our recollections. When we re-tell a story from our past the way we present that material and our willingness to present that information differently actually creates how that memory is stored and changed over time. This doesn’t mean that our memories are always inaccurate of invaluable.
