Andrea Ishem, B.A., (She/Her)
Student Intern
I am a Student Intern completing my Masters in Social Work at University of Buffalo, SUNY and working under the supervision of Serena Sherrill, LICSW. In addition, I am a Licensed Substance Use Disorder Counselor (SUDP), with over 15 years of experience in mental health and social service positions. Having worked in various settings, from hospitals and clinics, to crisis centers and outreach teams, I have seen successful approaches as well as failed opportunities. I believe many of those failed opportunities were the result of not including people in the decisions made about the care provided to them. It is my goal to provide care and assistance in alignment with my client’s goals and desires.
I believe that by doing inner work and tackling our deepest struggles, fears and pain, we not only have the opportunity to heal but to grow stronger. All of life’s pitfalls and challenges are an opportunity to gain wisdom, stability and empathy for our fellow humans. I believe if you take the time to do the work, you cannot fail. If you need to take a step backwards, it is an opportunity to see things from a different vantage point and move forward with new insight to keep you on your path forward. I believe every person knows what it is that they need to find fulfillment. In my role as a counselor, I am present to offer guidance and reflection in order to remove the barriers our minds and society create that often immobilize us and keep us off balance.
