-
Can you meet me on the Gettysburg Battlefield to walk as we work? I hate sitting in an office for therapy.We can connect in nature and in many settings. Reach out and we will find the best environment for you. Note that some settings are difficult for the assurance of complete confidentiality. We will discuss these things as we plan the best approach for therapy or coaching together.

Do you do work with companies or retreats?We sure do! Andrea's experience in non-profit and corporate leadership is a huge advantage to applying principles of transformative change with staff. Her initial Gestalt sessions are often lead with partner coaching sessions that define benchmarks and milestones towards leadership growth and team success. Retreats are available for individual corporate partners and businesses as well as determined by themes each fall. We ask that you reach out with six months of lead time to assure we can secure and create the environment you seek for your company's needs. Interested individuals in our annual retreats should inquire early to be added to our waitlist as we filter and construct complimentary group retreats.
-
What if I don't like animals, hiking, or some aspect?Great question! We tailor your therapeutic and somatic experiences, coaching plans where applicable, and other aspects of our work together based on your needs and preferences. It's great to know what you like or dislike in order to move forward in health and healing.
-
Can I schedule to see you for career help?Certainly. Navigating career and balancing life is difficult. A professional and supportive view from a successful business person and therapist or coach can really help you navigate and connect to what is meaningful and prioritized specifically for you!
-
What is embodied therapy / how is Gestalt different?We work together in therapy to find where your senses and signs in your body hold memory or emotion. The Gestalt therapy experience is like an experiment where you explore through guided meditation, discussion, movement, and knowing your own energy and senses to find how your body holds what your mind needs to process. This seems complicated, but is very honest, can feel like a lost simplicity, and is truly transformational when experienced in therapy. Truly, this therapy just might change your entire life.
-
What animals do you work with?On our Aspers farm we have several rescue animals-- sheep, goats, a donkey and a mini horse. We have pigs, but they're not super therapeutic :) We begin by sitting and exploring the connection you may feel when feeding a treat, breathing with animals, and being in nature. From there, we have further opportunities to explore brushing, nuzzling, and deeper breath work that includes and is separate from our animal friends. Notably, animals are just like anyone else. Some days they may be very into their work and sometimes they need a day off. We schedule therapy regardless of weather and work around climate as well as animal friends' needs and wants, because it's human therapy first and animal experiences are beneficial, but not always guaranteed.
