Hello, I’m proud of you for taking the first steps towards finding a therapist, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey! 

My name is Andy Quintana Vendrell (she/her) and I’m a therapist intern in my final year of my Masters of Social Work at USC. I am specializing in Adult Mental Health and Wellness. I have a BA in Psychology and a BA in Theater and Performance Studies from UC Berkeley. I also have experience as a Life Coach with specialized work as a Creative Coach, helping my clients unblock their creative process. 

I am very passionate about mental health and believe in a holistic model, where our physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual health are all connected and inform one another. Every person is different and has unique goals and obstacles, so I will work with you to find the best approach for our time together. I believe in empowering my clients and checking in along the way to make sure we are working on the right goals with the right techniques for you. I am very open minded and communicative and will do my best to guide you and help you learn the tools to help yourself. 

I utilize Motivational Interviewing, Problem Solving Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Life Coaching, and Art and Expressive Therapy techniques. I have experience working with grief and bereavement, anxiety, life and career transitions, depression, PTSD, attachment, and relationship dynamics. 

Looking forward to meeting you!
