About Andrea

I am a licensed psychotherapist, based in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
Using 11+ years of clinical experience in addition to somatic techniques, behavioral-based, and cognitive-based therapies, I have helped hundreds of my clients identify and heal the ROOT causes of their symptoms.

This means no more “band aids” or “managing” symptoms.

Healing on a deep level allows for the decrease and the eventual elimination of symptoms and self-sabotaging behaviors.

In redefining their core-beliefs, releasing stored emotions from the body, strengthening (not overusing) their emotional “muscle,” exploring the hidden/wounded parts of themself, and in becoming more aware of their life-long patterns clients are able to become more intentional about their choices.

With the tools learned in therapy, they will heal and begin to embody the most authentic, connected, and joyful version of themself!

Are you a woman, committed to your healing and self-growth journey, who shows up “put together” and is constantly there for others (maybe to the point of feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or even angry)? Do you find yourself being so independent that you do not ask others for help (emotional, financial, etc.)?

I SEE YOU & I CAN HELP!

You DESERVE to receive as much as you give and feel supported as much as you support others!

Being the one who continuously shows up “put together,” can lead you down the path of anxiety, unhealthy boundaries, finding your value in what you can do for others, and being the person people come to (the “therapist” of the group) – yet you find it hard to go to others for help.

Perhaps you have become hyper-independent; doing things on your own, difficulty with asking for help, rejecting help when it is offered, isolating, becoming an over-achiever or workaholic, making decisions without asking for input, finding it difficult to be emotionally intimate/vulnerable, and taking on most/all responsibilities at work/home.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I SEE YOU. BEEN THERE. DONE THAT.

You really do want to be able to feel calm, confident, & trusting.

You want to be able to rely on people to help you when you need help.

You want to create meaningful, authentic, and fulfilling relationships.

Let’s be real – you’re a badass. And you have gone through some hard stuff.

AND it’s understandable why you are the way you are.

AND you REALLY want to break free from these self-imposed and inherited chains and the dysfunctional patterns you grew up with, so you can create a more confident, loving, accepting, calm, and honest relationship with yourself. And with others.

But you feel stuck, confused, insecure, anxious, and disconnected from yourself.

You may have tried several types of healing practices in the past – yet still feel like there are some unresolved, hidden aspects of yourself.

You’re ready to dig deep. Heal on a root level. And make sustainable, life-enhancing changes.

If you feel…

Sad
Anxious
Easily Triggered
Overwhelmed
Disillusioned or hopeless
Frustrated
Uncertain / Confused
Insecure

HOW does therapy work?

I offer the opportunity

to work with me on an individual basis.

Therapy involves:

A detailed intake and initial session.
Virtual or office sessions with those seeking services.
Weekly 50-minute sessions, so we can work towards attaining your goals
Using a Person-Centered approach to build a strong relationship.
Using Somatic-based interventions to help physically release trapped emotions.
Using Cognitive-Behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful/destructive thoughts and behaviors and replace them with ones that will lead you to create the relationships you want and live out your fullest potential.
You begin to make incremental but lasting changes through the creation of new patterns of thinking and behaving.

By the end of therapy, you will:

Be able to identify ROOT causes of your symptoms.
Heal these ROOT causes and therefore see a natural decrease/elimination of your symptoms.
Feel physically lighter and more calm within your body, as you’ll release trapped emotions.
Have a more clear understanding about why you think the way you do.
Be able to clearly make connections between how you think, feel, act, and experience the world.
Have a better understanding of yourself and the role you play in the relationships/dynamics you create.
Be equipped with science-backed tools on how to:
Identify, challenge and change irrational/distorted thoughts and belief systems.
Change/release undesired emotions.
Drastically improve your ability to practice patience and understanding.
Set healthy boundaries.
Experience immediate relief in your body.
Regulate your central nervous system, helping your body physically return to a balanced state.
Access part of the brain – the amygdala – (not easily accessible during talk-only therapy).
Cultivate meaningful relationships that are founded on understanding, connection, patience, love, and authenticity.

Andrea was an effective and professional therapist to my family. She allowed us to feel comfortable with our first experience receiving therapy. She asked the right questions and assisted my family and my daughter with finding meaning in psychological self-exploration. Thank you for all you did for my family!

P.D

I would highly recommend working with Andrea. At first, my son was very shy and didn’t want to express himself when it came to his feelings. But she was able to get through to him and he’s learning how to deal with his feelings and also communicate better now. Thank you again.

N.G

Andrea was understanding, knowledgeable, kind and patient and her services will have a lasting, positive impact on our lives.

A.J

Working with Andrea was the best thing for our daughter. Andrea is professional and very kind. Thank you for all of your love and support to our family.

R.D

It was an absolute pleasure for my family and I to work with Ms. Kupferman and all the hard work that she and my son did, really paid off as he was able to overcome his serious issues and move forward with his life. I was very satisfied with the therapy methods she used, her kindness, her patience, and more importantly how effective the use of exposure therapy was in my child’s particular case and the fact that this was identified in a timely manner. I highly recommend Ms. Kupferman as a highly qualified and knowledgeable therapist who truly cares about her patient’s mind, body and spiritual well-being. Thank you.
