Hi, I’m Andrea Thomas, a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families. I help clients manage anxiety and stress, heal from trauma and grief, navigate life transitions, strengthen relationships, and build greater confidence, motivation, and self-esteem.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized to your needs. Together, we’ll explore what may be keeping you stuck, recognize the strengths you already possess, and develop practical tools to help you move forward. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, so you can expect a safe, welcoming space where you can express yourself openly and without judgment.
When I’m not in session, I enjoy listening to music and cheering on my favorite football team. These are a few of the ways I recharge and stay grounded.
When you’re ready, I’m here to listen, support you, and walk alongside you as you heal from the past, focus on the present, and transform your future.

Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time.
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.
Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, proudly continuing a family legacy of service and commitment to helping others. With over a decade of experience, I have worked in a variety of clinical settings, including hospitals, home health, outpatient centers, and most recently within a K–12 school system. Throughout my career, I have considered it a true privilege to support individuals during some of their most vulnerable and transformative moments.
I specialize in individual therapy and am now opening my practice to teens. My recent experience as a School Social Worker allowed me to provide direct therapeutic services to students across all grade levels, supporting them through anxiety, depression, academic stress, peer and family challenges, and crisis situations. This chapter feels especially meaningful, as I originally pursued my education with the goal of becoming a School Social Worker. In many ways, this transition represents a full-circle moment in my professional journey. I bring the insight, developmental understanding, and collaborative approach from the school setting into my practice, offering teens and their families compassionate, structured, and informed support.
