# Andrea Soper

LSW

✦ Supervised by Jessica Espino

I am a New Jersey-based Licensed Social Worker specializing in supporting children and their families. I believe every child brings something unique to the table, and my job is to help them recognize their strengths and build on them. My approach is supportive and nurturing, with a focus on helping children develop confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.  I strive to create an environment where clients are met with honesty and care, and feel safe, supported, and free from judgment. My hope is that every child and family I work with feels they can breathe a little easier.
