Introduction

Hi! I’m Andrae Laws and I usually go by Drae (he/they). I am a provisionally licensed psychotherapist at Roamers Therapy under the supervision of Shaysa Villa MSW, LCSW. As humans, it is natural for us to experience highs and lows as we navigate through life. However, sometimes our lows are too overwhelming—we feel stuck and alone. This feeling may hinder us from experiencing joy, showing up for the people we love, and reaching our fullest potential. My therapeutic approach is shaped by three beliefs: (1) regardless of your past and current situation, you are worthy of love and respect, (2) you have inherent strengths, and (3) systemic oppression plays a role in way we think, feel, and behave; therefore, in therapy, it is important to consider the relationship among systemic oppression, mental health and the multiple identities we hold. As a Black and queer person, I believe showing up as your authentic self is brave and healthy. Together, we will create a safe and non-judgmental space as we work through your goals. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and solution focused. In session, we will identify obstacles in your life and explore strategies for coping, as well as identify maladaptive thinking patterns and practice reframing your thoughts to achieve a balanced and healthy life. Together, let us begin this transformative journey to achieve the life you deserve. I look forward to getting to know you.
