Grief counselors and therapists in Pensacola, FL

I help military members, first responders, and law enforcement professionals carry the weight of service with more strength, clarity, and support through therapy built around their world. If you’re dealing with trauma, stress, addiction, relationship strain, or the silent pressure of always having to hold it together, you don’t have to face it alone. My goal is to offer a space that feels confidential, grounded, and free of judgment—where you can talk honestly without clichés, forced vulnerability, or someone who doesn’t understand the culture you come from.

When you're the person everyone depends on, it's easy to lose track of your own needs.

You may be juggling work, relationships, caregiving responsibilities, family expectations, or major life transitions while quietly carrying stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion behind the scenes. From the outside, it can look like you're managing everything. On the inside, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how much longer you can keep running on empty.

I'm Andrea, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps adults navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the emotional weight that comes from constantly putting others first. Many of my clients are thoughtful, caring individuals who have spent years focusing on what everyone else needs while neglecting their own well-being.

Therapy is a place where your needs finally get to take up space.

I hold an M.S. in Counseling from the University of Vermont, a Vermont LCMHC license and a Florida telehealth registration. I have been meeting with clients for individual therapy for over four years. The people I work with come to therapy with a range of concerns — including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, and the experience of feeling 'stuck' without quite knowing why. I view the therapeutic relationship as central to the work.

With over 20 years of experience and a Master’s in Psychology, I am deeply committed to providing the same high standard of care I would want for my own family. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and entirely focused on helping you reach your personal goals.

I specialize in supporting both adults and children navigating grief, suicide loss, and PTSD. I also have extensive experience helping those managing anxiety, depression, children's behavioral challenges and the unique challenges faced by Veterans and military families. By using an integrative approach, I tailor our work together to fit your specific needs and lifestyle.
