Andrea Nave is a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in the treatment of anxiety, OCD, ADHD, mood, and behavior disorders in children, adolescents, and families. She received her Master’s degree from Fordham University and completed specialized clinical training at the Regulation of Emotion & Anxiety Disorder Lab at Yale University, the Compulsive Obsessive and Anxiety Program at Fordham University, the NYU Child Study Center Neuropsychology & Learning Service, the NYU Child Study Center Attention Deficit Hyperactivity & Behavior Disorders Service, Bellevue Hospital Adolescent Inpatient Unit, the Yale Child Study Center Anxiety and Mood Service, the Anxiety Disorders Center at the Institute of Living, and the Anxiety Institute of Greenwich. 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 approach to treatment and considers how factors such as ADHD, autism, learning differences, emotional regulation, behavior, family dynamics, parenting patterns, and trauma may contribute to or interact with anxiety and other concerns. Her goal is to help children, adolescents, and families understand the underlying patterns contributing to their difficulties and develop effective, evidence-based strategies for change. Andrea 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 and children with ADHD, including the use of SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions). She also works with families to reduce accommodation, strengthen effective parenting strategies, improve emotional regulation, and break cycles of anxiety and generational trauma. Andrea is an ADHD-Clinical Services Provider and is trauma-informed. Andrea is also the author of the How to Beat Anxiety Blog. She is licensed as an LPC in Connecticut and an LMHC in New York.
