Hi there, I’m Andrea Thomas, a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience, dedicated to supporting adults, children, and families. I specialize in helping people manage stress and anxiety, work through trauma and grief, navigate life transitions, and build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. At the heart of my practice is a simple belief: everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. In our work together, we’ll create a safe, open space where you can freely express your thoughts and emotions without judgment. When I’m not in session, you can find me enjoying my favorite music or cheering on my favorite football team, it’s part of how I recharge and stay grounded. When you’re ready, I’m here to listen, support, and walk alongside you. Let’s start the conversation toward your well-being.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first therapy session focuses on building trust, understanding your needs, and laying the foundation for a productive, goal-oriented therapeutic relationship.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider are rooted in treating every individual with dignity and respect. I create a judgment-free space where you can openly and honestly share your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Throughout our journey, you will feel valued, heard, and respected every step of the way.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I’m best positioned to serve clients who are motivated to make positive changes, open to self-exploration, and committed to their healing and growth. I’m passionate about supporting individuals who are ready to engage in the therapeutic process and take meaningful steps toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
