Ms Andrea Sadrakula

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

A caring, competent, and effective provider with specializations in trauma, PTSD, and co-occurring disorders.

About Me

I offer a caring, effective space for adults navigating trauma, PTSD, and co-occurring disorders. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I understand how past difficult experiences can impact your daily life. We can work together to process these challenges, building resilience. My goal is to help you find stability and a path towards greater well-being.

Approach

With a steady, practical focus, I guide sessions toward managing trauma’s everyday effects while honoring your pace and priorities. I offer in-person appointments in Germantown, Maryland and secure online sessions in English to fit your life. Sessions blend focused skill-building—grounding, mindful regulation, and relational repair—with clear check-ins and small, tailored between-session steps so progress feels measurable, not overwhelming. This way of working often helps adults and couples who want calm structure and realistic tools for moving forward.
