Teresa (Tara) Andreoli, Psy.D., recently moved to California from Philadelphia, PA, and joined the Brain Therapy Center in September 2005. A recent graduate from LaSalle University, an APA-accredited program, Dr. Andreoli has specialized training in neuropsychological assessment, psychotherapy, biofeedback therapy and neurofeedback therapy. She completed a one-year internship in geropsychology at University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ), an APA-accredited program. Professionally, she was a psychotherapist in New Jersey for over ten years and a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1999, providing individual psychotherapy with a specialization in pain management and cognitive rehabilitation.
Dr. Andreoli’s theoretical orientation is best represented by the biopsychosocial model which views individuals within the context of their psychological makeup and perception of their world, the environmental demands placed upon them, and the neurobiological and physiological response that mediates the two. Psychotherapy, therefore, is conducted within that framework and will often include components that address the whole person.
Dr. Andreoli will be providing neuropsychological assessments, psychotherapy and biofeedback/neurofeedback therapy under the supervision of Dr. Harold Burke. She is also available for providing psychoeducational, community-based lectures and training in the area of healthy aging, stress management, and psychological wellness. Please contact her at 805-449-8777.
