Introduction

Hi, I'm Andrea Paul, LPCC. Some past clients have called me the "Best Friend Therapist," and that's exactly the energy I bring: warm, honest, and real, without the clinical distance that can make therapy feel stiff. I hold a MA in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Cincinnati, and I work primarily with adults and couples navigating transitions in their lives and relationships. I believe pleasure in all facets of life is a birthright and we can give ourselves permission to embrace it. I typically work with BIPOC people experiencing anxiety, family issues, identity, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. I am also sex-positive, kink, BDSM, ENM, LGBT, and sex-work aligned. That means there's no version of your life that I'll ask you to shrink to fit into what you think is "the only right way." If it's part of your story, it's welcome in session. As a solution-focused counselor, I believe we all know ourselves and what is "right" for us. We just need some assistance with seeing the paths ahead. I like work that's practical and gives you something to actually do between sessions. That said, I don't believe healing only happens through logic. For clients who are open to it, I bring integrative approaches into our work, including symbolic and reflective tools that help you access what's under the surface conversation. If you're looking for a therapist who will tell you the truth, laugh with you, and still hold space to actually help you, I'd love to work with you!
