Andrea Travers, Clinical Director at Avenues Recovery Center at Eastern Shore, is a dedicated mental health professional from the city of Laurel in Sussex County, MD. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Delaware, followed by a Master of Science in Community Counseling from Wilmington University, as well as a post-master's certificate in Mental Health Counseling. With nearly 14 years of experience, Andrea has made it her mission to help individuals with mental health and substance use disorders uncover the connections between their behaviors, emotions, and past experiences to foster healing and recovery. She is particularly interested in how rewiring thought patterns can positively impact not only the client but also their families and communities. Andrea hopes to one day return to school to return for her PsyD in Clinical Psychology, as well as certification in Trauma and EMDR Therapy.
In her personal life, Andrea is a devoted mother to her spunky 8-year-old daughter Charley. They live in Cambridge, MD alongside their dog Duke, gecko Goldie, and two hermit crabs, Spot and Sophie. An avid traveler, Andrea hopes to one day see the Northern Lights and explore Europe and Australia. She also loves camping (or "glamping") and is a fan of Marvel and DC comics. In her downtime, she enjoys watching reruns of The Big Bang Theory and The Office.
