Andrea Bankova (Andie): Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)/Intern
Andie is a Supervised Psychotherapy Intern at Cavaliere Therapy Services and is completing her Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. She brings a warm and relational approach shaped by her experience as an Intake Coordinator in a mental health setting. In this role, she spent time listening to people’s stories, holding sensitive conversations, and helping connect them with the right supports.
Her background in mentorship, coaching, and communications has further strengthened her ability to support individuals in identifying challenges, clarifying goals, and moving toward meaningful change.
Andie’s clinical interests include working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, disordered eating, grief, and perfectionism. She is passionate about helping clients reconnect with their most authentic selves and holding space for all parts of themselves to show up. She feels honoured to listen to and hold people’s stories.
Andie brings a trauma-informed and person-centred approach to her work, combining techniques from CBT, IFS, and somatic practices to support meaningful growth and healing. She believes healing happens in spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued. She sees each client as the expert of their own life and views her role as a compassionate guide, walking alongside you as you make sense of your experiences together. She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients build confidence and trust in themselves.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure of your next steps, Andie welcomes the opportunity to work together in moving toward a more grounded sense of self.
Outside of her clinical work, Andie finds restoration in nature through hiking and dreams of one day living on a small farm surrounded by animals. The simple things that bring her joy include: starry skies, puns, french fries, and petting all the dogs on her street.
