Hey there, I’m Andrea Gress – a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Play Therapist, and Board-Certified Professional Christian Counselor. College is an exciting chapter, but let’s be real—it can also feel pretty overwhelming. Between schoolwork, relationships, and that constant pressure to have it all together, it’s easy to get stressed, lost, or just feel like you’re barely keeping it together. If that sounds like you, I’m here to help you navigate it all. My goal? To help you not just survive this season of change, but actually thrive.

The transition to adulthood is a huge deal, and with that comes both excitement and challenges. Whether you're dealing with academic stress, personal struggles, relationship issues, or figuring out who you are and what you stand for, I’m here to offer you a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore it all. As a Christian counselor, I integrate faith with therapy, helping you build emotional resilience while staying true to your spiritual values.

I believe everyone is uniquely created, and my approach focuses on aligning your mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Together, we’ll pull from biblical wisdom and a variety of therapeutic techniques to help you grow:

Adlerian Therapy: We’ll dive into your goals, values, and relationships to help you grow and connect with others.

Bibliotherapy: Using scripture and meaningful readings to give you clarity, comfort, and perspective.

Person-Centered Therapy: A space where you’re heard and understood, helping you grow in self-acceptance and confidence.

Psychodynamic Therapy: Let’s unpack how your past experiences might be impacting your current thoughts and feelings.

By combining therapy and faith, we’ll work together to build emotional strength, resilience, and clarity, so you can truly thrive—during college and beyond.

If you're looking for therapy that respects both your faith and your unique journey, I’d love to walk with you on this transformative path. Reach out today, and let’s start this healing journey together.
