Therapeutic and Practice Style

Dr. Kieffer-Andrew’s style of practice is empathic, encouraging, validating, educating, and challenging.  She is known to have a warm, but no-nonsense style.  This is based upon her study of Alfred Adler (a contemporary of Sigmund Freud & Carl Jung) who developed a therapeutic model of personal and social responsibility.  Dr Adler outlined the primary motivations of behavior and ways to understand and change behavior to attain personal integration and happiness.   

Dr. Kieffer-Andrews draws upon her extensive nursing and nurse-midwifery education and experience, which emphasized holistic principles and modalities for attaining and maintaining optimal health.    She integrates science, biology, neurology, psychology, world religions, and philosophy into each plan of care and education of each person and their unique needs.
