Andrea Nave is a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in anxiety, OCD, ADHD, autism, and mood disorders in children, adolescents, and families. She received her Master’s degree from Fordham University and completed specialized clinical training at Yale University, Fordham University, NYU Child Study Center, Bellevue Hospital, Yale Child Study Center, and the Anxiety Disorders Center at the Institute of Living. She is an ADHD-Clinical Services Provider, a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Specialist, and is trauma-informed.

Andrea is passionate about understanding where anxiety and other emotional or behavioral difficulties are coming from, rather than simply treating the symptoms. She takes a comprehensive, individualized approach, considering how ADHD, autism, learning differences, emotional regulation, behavior, family dynamics, parenting patterns, and trauma may contribute to or interact with anxiety and other concerns.

​

She specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety and OCD, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), as well as evidence-based treatment for ADHD and parent-based interventions. She has particular expertise in supporting parents of anxious children, children with ADHD, and autistic children, including the use of SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions). She also works with families to reduce accommodation, strengthen parenting strategies, improve emotional regulation, and break cycles of anxiety and generational trauma.

​

Andrea believes therapy should be a safe, judgment-free space where clients can be honest about difficult or uncomfortable things. She brings warmth, authenticity, and humor into her sessions while providing practical, evidence-based tools that clients can use in everyday life.
