Andrea Tramper

I am Andrea Tramper (she/her/hers), a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience providing virtual counseling and therapy services from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am passionate about working from a whole person approach to well-being and health. I believe people are the experts in their own care needs and therapeutic support should enhance quality of life. My approach to care involves partnering with my patients, facilitating in a deeper understanding of the self and change making. I believe in an “always be learning” modality; both through being current on research and literature and from my patients. ​ My knowledge and experience includes perinatal mood disorders, birth trauma, PTSD and trauma informed care, depression and anxiety, and self-esteem development. ​My passion areas are the use of EMDR for the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other traumas as well as working with women during their fertility or perinatal journey. I have experience and training in child welfare, emergency department care, the primary care setting, medical weight loss and bariatric surgery, suicide assessment and prevention, perinatal and postpartum care, community living support aide, and facilitating educational and support groups. ​Specialty Training & Focus ASIST Training & Suicide Crisis Protocol Birth Trauma Chronic Pain Management EMDR – SAFE Method Perinatal Mood Disorders Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Women’s Issues Education Masters of Social Work, Grand Valley State University ​Licensed Clinical Master’s of Social Work, State of Michigan Maternal and Infant Health Fellowship, University of Texas
