Andrea Brandt, MA, MS, NCC, LPC

Hi, I’m Andrea! If you’ve ever felt anxious, stuck in behavior patterns you want to change, or weighed down by past experiences, I want you to know—you’re not alone. I’m here to offer a caring and nonjudgmental space where you can find hope, clarity, and a way forward.

Since 2018, I’ve been helping people work through challenges like trauma, addiction, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and anxiety. I also enjoy guiding women through midlife and helping people navigate major life changes. I work from a Christian worldview, incorporating faith and scripture as desired in your counseling experience. I use EMDR therapy to gently help you process past hurts and I teach practical skills—like how to manage emotions, set boundaries, and improve communication—so you can feel more empowered in life and relationships.

My own journey into counseling began with a transformative personal experience with Christian counseling, and it showed me the profound difference that hope, guidance, and support can make. That’s why I’m passionate about walking alongside others as they navigate their path toward healing and growth.

I work via telehealth from my boat-office, Knot 2 Late, —reminding both of us that it’s never too late to heal, learn, and grow.

If you’d like to see if we’re a good fit, I offer a free 10-minute consultation. It’s a simple, no-pressure way to talk about your goals, ask questions, and explore how I can support you.
