Do you find yourself constantly overwhelmed or feeling on edge? Do you feel irritable with everything and everyone? These can be very painful feelings and a common experience. Unfortunately, many people find it easier to ignore the feeling, “push things under the rug”, and leave it for another day. Over time, this can lead to relationship issues, chronic anxiety, and even depression. Throughout the therapeutic process, we will work on identifying some of the triggers causing these emotional disturbances. We will dive deep and pinpoint reasons as to why these negative feelings surfaced originally. You will also come out of therapy with the necessary tools to calm your mind. The quote “knowing is half the battle” plays a big part in trying to solve what is happening in your life. Life is too short to be constantly on edge all day long…it is exhausting if you ask me. Time and time again I see people living with the everyday doom and gloom feeling and not doing anything about it. I have worked with many individuals, couples, and families who have taken the first step to resolving that overwhelming feeling they experience for weeks, months, and even years. My favorite part of being a therapist is witnessing how my clients experience a better quality of life.

My background in fine arts from a young age got me closer to getting in touch with my own emotions and those of others. I earned a BA in psychology and mental health and an MS in psychology with a major in marriage and family therapy while still practicing fine arts. That journey helped me develop my calling for psychology and helping people improve their lives, serving as a guide. I'm very joyful and empathetic and a great listener! I have worked in community mental health centers, private practice, and nonprofit organizations with individuals, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, grief, and loss, among other life challenges. I’m a very holistic therapist with a postmodernist approach; I provide individualized interventions depending on your specific needs and offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can start your healing process while I guide you through it.

Hello there, I’m Andrea! But, please feel free to call me Andy. First off congratulations on seeking the support you, your relationship, child, or family deserves. I know it tends to be a difficult step in our journey towards healing. That being said, aren’t you tired of carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders and navigating through life in autopilot? Do you struggle to tolerate the distress that comes from everyday living? Are you constantly finding yourself trying to overcompensate from old wounds, betrayals, and childhood trauma? Would you like a space to process and heal so you could ultimately live a more balanced life in your relationships, career, and personal life? If you are, you came to the right place. I guide others through their healing journey by offering a both culturally sensitive and client-centered approach. Remember, you are the expert of your life! Through this process, I will integrate a sprinkle of the art of self-disclosure to build rapport and connect with you as the humans we are. I incorporate a combination of evidenced-based techniques along with my knowledge of relationship dynamics to facilitate the utmost level of therapeutic outcome. In sessions, we will process emotions in a judgment-free space while simultaneously increasing your distress tolerance skills and communication tools to promote healthy relationships with others around you. Whether you are dealing with crippling anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, family difficulties or simply want to grow and expand your human experience and live to your fullest potential, I’m here to help. Let’s get you through this!

Are you a high-achieving woman who looks successful on the outside but feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled inside? Do you find yourself procrastinating, doubting your abilities, or striving for perfection, only to fall short of your own expectations? If you’re tired of self-sabotaging patterns holding you back, you’re in the right place. I’m here to help you break free from these self-defeating patterns and together we’ll explore the underlying causes of your self-sabotage, uncover your inner strengths, and develop practical strategies to empower you to move forward with confidence and clarity. Andrea Kupferman has over 11 years of clinical experience, helping her clients identify and HEAL the ROOT causes of their symptoms. She helps clients through a very strategic approach - focusing on these 5 main life themes: SAFETY; TRUST; POWER AND CONTROL; SELF-ESTEEM; INTIMACY. Because Andrea's approach is holistic (we work with the MIND + BODY) and structured (this is for the woman who is ready to really learn about herself and make INTENTIONAL and LONG-LASTING changes in her life) she works with her client's on a shorter term basis (between 6-12 months). If you are ready to heal, show up with an open mind and are ready to learn more about yourself in a safe space, let's connect. Within a secure space, you will be able to explore the hidden/wounded parts of yourself; becoming more aware of your life-long patterns. This will allow you to become more intentional about your choices. With the tools you learn in therapy, you will heal and begin to embody the most AUTHENTIC, CONNECTED, and JOYFUL version of yourself.

I am a Colombian born immigrant who came to the US to further my education and practice as a psychotherapist.

I have helped many people work through coping with life changes, stress, depression, anxiety, trauma and other multiple issues... I thrive in connecting with the person and developing trust, hope and faith in the therapeutic -and creative- process.

It takes courage to face our psychological challenges AND to take the first steps towards change, if you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you all the way!

Congratulations on beginning the journey to becoming a better you. If you are ready to take the first step, I am here to support and empower you. I am a Bilingual (English-Spanish ) holistic and eclectic Licensed Therapist. When we are feeling at our worst, it is hard to imagine that people won’t run away if we lay our problems down on them. It doesn’t have to be like this forever. Feeling energized, in control and on top of your life is possible with the right support. Therapy is a journey of self-discovery where you become more aware of the influences that shaped you, and how you can make better choices to live a more connected life. I am excited to get to know you, understand your individual goals, and help you not only achieve but maintain them. I look forward to working with you!

Treatment goals are focused on developing a better understanding of the self as a person and role in society. Clients often come to treatment seeking stability and consistency in their journey and are open to a two-way dialogue regarding their needs.

Welcome! I provide individual therapy to adults dealing with a variety of challenges including: anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions/adjustment issues, complex trauma, and attachment issues. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you have been in therapy before, it is important to choose a therapist that you feel connected to and has experience in treating the areas that align with your needs. Therapy is an intimate experience, a collaboration between you and the therapist. I take that role seriously and understand that to do my best work, I need to understand each client holistically. I feel like my biggest asset is the ability to see a client's strengths, empower them to achieve their goals, and support them throughout the therapeutic process. Therapy helps uncover strengths and learn new skills that will allow you to deal with the challenges that arise in life. A successful therapy experience does not mean a person is cured, it means the person has the inner and outer resources to deal with the ups and downs of life. My goal is to help you develop the skills necessary to successfully deal with life, on your own terms. With warmth, compassion, and a bit of humor, I aim to create a safe, supportive environment to help foster personal growth and healing. I have experience working in a variety of settings including outpatient, Telehealth therapy , and schools. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and approved Clinical Supervisor. I look forward to working with you!

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Florida rather than a city like Tampa?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Florida from Miami to Jacksonville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Florida.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
