Proud To Be You

Welcome to This is Me Mental Health. I am a licensed art therapist and mental health counselor dedicated to providing a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space for adults and adolescents seeking support. Therapy is as a partnership, where your experiences and responses guide our journey together. I aim to help you explore your thoughts and feelings with compassion and empathy, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of yourself.

Andrea Messier - About Me

I believe that you are the expert on yourself. My aim is to create a warm, welcoming, judgment‑free space where we can explore your thoughts and feelings with compassion and empathy. Together we’ll examine the areas where you feel stuck, deepen your mental‑health awareness, and develop a clearer personal understanding. Adaptive coping, is something any adult or child may at some point need support with. I believe clients experiences and responses to sessions are important; as is our building a genuine therapeutic relationship.  Feeling safe and truly seen; that is what makes therapy work. I want to hear from you, how therapy is going and what you are needing from me. I bring genuine curiosity for you who are and curiosity into learning the most I can about mental health. I love what I do and I cant do that with out you.

 Sessions is based on each client's individual needs, drawing from various therapeutic theories and approaches:

  • Attachment informed
  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
  • Compassion Focused
  • Psychological education
  • Strength-Based
  • Trauma Focused
  • Art therapy
  • body based interventions / somatic interventions
  • and aspects of IFS

I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship, ensuring clients feel heard and understood. By focusing on what a client responds best to, we can work together to achieve meaningful progress.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

We can make a time to speak by phone for about 15 to 20 minutes. If we feel like a good match, we'll schedule your initial session and outline a path forward. 

It is best for us to email and set up an appointment for the phone call; as I can often have back to back sessions. The first face to face appointment is called an intake appointment. This is one of the many things I explain in the phone call.
