Andrea DePetris, PhD (She/Her)

Dr. Andrea DePetris joined Yale Health in 2020. She worked as a Mental Health Provider for Yale College Community Care, a Staff Psychologist, and Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Yale Health, Mental Health & Counseling. Dr. DePetris currently works as a Mental Health Provider at the Yale School of Medicine. Prior to joining the staff, Dr. DePetris was a postdoctoral associate at Columbia University’s Counseling and Psychological Services Clinic. She received her doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Connecticut and completed an internship at the Veteran Affairs Connecticut Healthcare System’s Newington campus.

As an insight-oriented therapist, Dr. DePetris seeks to understand how your formative life experiences have shaped how you see yourself and your experience of relationships. Rather than a path of predetermination, she view’s your experiences as a source of wisdom and strength. Her intention is to help students gain clarity, express themselves with greater authenticity, and align their actions accordingly. Dr. DePetris is especially attuned to the multidimensionality of individuals and their layers of identity — including the identities that are socially-imposed and those that are self-affirmed. She approaches therapy from a lens of multiculturalism and holistic health.
