Penelope Andrade, LCSW

Penelope is an AEDP Certified Therapist and Supervisor and author of Emotional Medicine Rx: Cry when you’re sad, Stop when you’re done, Feel good fast with over 40 years of experience in San Diego, CA and on Zoom. Penelope found AEDP in 2010 and knew it would be her forever therapeutic home when she discovered how elegantly AEDP integrated her decades long commitment to body-mind-spirit-relational healing and mindfulness. Of the many aspects of AEDP she treasures: being with clients in the embodied present moment, undoing aloneness, trusting those continually arising self-righting impulses, allowing love to flourish relationally, and facilitating clients’ ever increasing self-love-confidence-clarity.

As AEDP can be tricky to master, Penelope enjoys helping new AEDP learners relax into discovering how their innate gifts as therapists thrive and develop in this organic, emergent model. Penelope knows, personally, she will never be done learning AEDP as it challenges her personally and professionally to grow in the most important aspects of consciousness, love and will.  (more…)

Similarly, Liza seeks to join consultees in an affirming and active learning process that integrates left-brain rigor and right-brain perceptivity. She works with consultees to build skills that deepen experiential processes, to understand AEDP’s 9+1 affective change mechanisms, and to expand naturalness of use of Self. She welcomes therapists new to the model, as well as those with more experience and seeking certification. (more…)
