About Me.
Dr. Andrea Charles
Welcome! I own Dragonfly Counseling, PLLC, a mental health group practice. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I was born and raised in the LC Valley. I attended Lewis-Clark State College for my undergraduate and Boise State University for my graduate degree in Social Work. I attended Simmons University for my Doctorate in Social Work, where my research focused on rural social work.
I have been providing psychotherapy since 2013. I currently hold an active therapy license for both Washington State and Idaho and am an approved clinical supervisor for both states. I am also a Consultant-in-Training for EMDR and offer reduced-cost EMDR Consultations.
I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Adlerian Therapy. I specialize in working with people with trauma and PTSD, ages 18 & up.
On the side, I'm diving into EMDR as a consultant-in-training, offering support and insights into trauma therapy. Since 2017, I've been steering my ship – proud owner of a private practice. Making a positive impact on individuals and communities keeps me fueled and excited about what I do!
