Andrea Messier - About Me
As a licensed art therapist and mental‑health counselor, 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 what makes therapy work! The therapeutic relationship, is the most essential aspect to treatment. I want to hear from you how therapy is going and what you are needing from me. Into sessions, I bring genuine curiosity for you who are and I bring the curiosity into learning the most I can about mental health. I love what I do and I cant do that with out you.

The power of art therapy
Art therapy is a unique and powerful approach that sets my practice apart. It allows for a different kind of expression, tapping into emotions and experiences that may be difficult to articulate verbally. This creative process can unlock new insights and pathways to healing. Art therapy is suitable for any age, although I recognize it isn't for everyone. Whether or not a client is interested in artistic expression, the therapeutic connection we build in session together will help the best version of you to flourish!!
