I earned my bachelor degree at University of California, Santa Barbara. My MA and PhD degrees were completed at California School of Professional Psychology in the San Francisco Bay Area. As part of my PhD, I trained as a full-time intern at Children's Hospital in Oakland, CA. After graduating, I then completed a full-time postdoctoral fellowship in the adult outpatient program at Kaiser Permanente in Santa Clara, CA. Following that, I worked as an Assessment Psychologist for the County of Santa Barbara in Lompoc, CA working with children and adolescents. I then went on to work at the nonprofit, Children's Institute, Inc. in Los Angeles, serving adults, children, and families for 17 years in various positions. Since moving to Colorado in 2018, I have been providing online therapy to adults and children. https://www.andrealockhartphd.com/online-therapy daily 0.75 2024-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6183fa627bde042bc9886753/1636161080773-ZQY9P4DMZVO597HCUDM2/mom+and+baby+computer+pexels-sarah-chai-7282833.jpeg Online Therapy - What is Teletherapy? “Teletherapy is the online delivery of mental health therapy services via high-resolution, live video conferencing.” Research has shown that teletherapy is just as effective as face-to-face therapy, and in some cases, even more successful.” Online therapy is a convenient and discrete method of receiving mental health services. It also has allowed people to have increased access to high-quality therapy. Finally, teletherapy allows you to feel more comfortable and less stigmatized in discussing issues, conflicts, and/or mental health concerns. Online therapy sessions are provided through a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. https://www.andrealockhartphd.com/therapy-for-depression-and-anxiety daily 0.75 2024-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6183fa627bde042bc9886753/1672540389334-HH1INI1WTORCWNR6TE2J/unsplash-image-mcKqoZh0DkI.jpg Therapy for Depression and Anxiety - Anxiety Common experiences when struggling with anxiety include: feeling constantly overwhelmed and worried about everything unable to control worries feeling riddled with self doubt and overanalyzing every little thing feeling exhausted constantly thinking about worst-case scenarios unable to relax, be at ease, or constantly on edge difficulty sleeping problems concentrating not eating enough panic attacks avoiding activities or people Treatment can include identifying and challenging dysfunctional thought patterns, mindfulness and relaxation techniques, and exposure therapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6183fa627bde042bc9886753/1717783744727-WGYFTRZYSM351QGP23HY/image-asset.jpeg Therapy for Depression and Anxiety - Depression Common experiences when struggling with depression include: feeling down, sad, or depressed unable to motivate yourself struggling to care for yourself and/or family crying all the time isolating yourself difficulty enjoying things feeling like a bad person all the time or steeped in negative thoughts difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much overeating, not eating enough or only eating unhealthy food feeling hopeless feeling like people would be better off if you weren't around or suicidal thoughts Depression can be a debilitating condition that disrupts your life.

The obsessions during this time often revolve around purposely harming the baby or being responsible for accidental harm to the baby and can be quite disturbing to the parent. Violent or disturbing images may also accompany these thoughts. Parents who have these thoughts or images are horrified and are terrified that they may act on them. They will engage in behaviors to reduce their anxiety or ward off the possibility of harm. https://www.andrealockhartphd.com/new-page daily 0.75 2024-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6183fa627bde042bc9886753/f638b8af-329e-46a1-8ec2-5b2399a07aae/unsplash-image-Za03n9MIt4s.jpg Parent Consultations - "The uncertainty of parenting can bring up feelings in us that range from frustration to terror." — Brene Brown Many parents have concerns about their child’s development or mental health and have no idea what to do. I offer consultations to provide information and guidance on these and other issues. I will assess the concerns and issues and may provide developmental guidance, education, parenting strategies or action plans for further help. Topics addressed in parent consultations may include: clarifying developmental or mental health concerns and determining a course of action help with understanding and managing your child's mental health diagnosis understanding your child’s development education on parenting strategies learning how to get your child help at school for behavioral problems or learning challenges choosing an appropriate day care or school environment for your child Parent consultation is NOT psychotherapy or counseling and is not a substitute for therapeutic services. If it is determined that there is a need for professional therapy, we will discuss the nature of the services that I can provide and, if needed, you will be provided with additional referrals. https://www.andrealockhartphd.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://www.andrealockhartphd.com/resources daily 0.75 2023-01-01 https://www.andrealockhartphd.com/therapy-for-pregnancy-and-postpartum daily 0.75 2024-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6183fa627bde042bc9886753/1717786791957-JL3S6Q5NKUE9X3D0905M/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6183fa627bde042bc9886753/1636161486228-4HAJGO8S0SJQKA3RLAE3/pexels-rodnae-productions-6849257.jpg
