Andrea Kephart

I am Andi Kephart, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor (LCSW-S) and Registered Play Therapist (RPT) with over 13 years of experience in the mental health field. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, without fear of judgment. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that everyone has the ability to grow, heal, and create meaningful change. I am passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges, recognize their strengths, and develop the tools they need to move forward with greater confidence and purpose.

I believe that meaningful change begins with a genuine connection. My approach to therapy is rooted in meeting you where you are, building trust, and creating a space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I recognize that no two people are alike, and therapy should never be a one-size-fits-all experience.

I believe therapy is serious work, but that doesn't mean we have to be serious all the time. There's room for laughter, humor, and simply being human. I'm not a therapist who will just sit quietly and nod. I'll listen, ask questions, offer different perspectives, and sometimes gently challenge you to look at things in a new way. I believe the best therapeutic relationships are built on honesty, trust, and the ability to show up as our authentic selves.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including play therapy, sandtray therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This flexibility allows me to tailor our work together to your individual needs, goals, and comfort level.

Above all, I want you to leave each session feeling seen, heard, and understood. I believe that everyone deserves a space where they can share their experiences openly, without fear of judgment or criticism. Therapy isn't about telling you how to live your life; it's about working together to understand what's holding you back, recognize your strengths, and discover new possibilities.

Your goals will always guide our work together. Whether you're navigating a difficult season, processing past experiences, or simply trying to better understand yourself, I will meet you with compassion, honesty, and respect. I believe in celebrating progress, embracing imperfections, and recognizing that meaningful change doesn't always happen in a straight line.

Most importantly, you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. You just have to be willing to take the first step, and we'll work together from there.
