Andrea Aichele

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and accepted. Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, parenting challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed, my goal is to help you discover your strengths and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, young adults, college students, student athletes, and adults. I have advanced training as a Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH C) clinician through Postpartum Support International and as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I also have specialized training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF CBT).

I enjoy helping children build confidence, emotional regulation skills, and resilience. I also have a passion for supporting individuals during pregnancy and postpartum, helping new and expecting parents navigate the emotional challenges that can accompany this season of life. For young adults and student athletes, I provide support for managing stress, performance pressure, relationships, identity, and life transitions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana, Florida, and Missouri. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Ball State University and my Master of Social Work from Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). My professional experience includes working in schools, hospice care, psychiatric hospitals, and private practice, allowing me to support clients across a wide range of life experiences.

No matter what brings you to therapy, I strive to create a welcoming space where you can feel safe, understood, and empowered.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and strength based. I believe that every person already possesses strengths that can serve as the foundation for healing and growth.

Together, we will identify what is working, explore the challenges that are keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools that help you move toward your goals.

I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs, drawing from evidence based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF CBT), trauma informed care, and mindfulness techniques when appropriate.

I believe that therapy is about helping you better understand yourself, build resilience, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. My priority is helping you feel comfortable and creating a space where you can share as much or as little as you are ready to.

We will talk about what brought you to therapy, the challenges you are facing, and what you hope will be different as a result of our work together. I may ask questions about your personal history, relationships, and current stressors so I can better understand your experiences. Together, we will begin identifying goals for therapy and discuss a plan that feels manageable and meaningful for you.

There is no pressure to have everything figured out before your first appointment. You only need to come as you are. We will take the next steps together.
