Andrew Linder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC
You want to appear successful & like you have it “all together” but deep down are struggling to feel confident in who you are or cope with challenging experiences that have occurred in your life. Instead you just watch Star Wars, The Office, Friends, Big Bang, or any other things you’ve seen, done or played a million times. I get it. But you are ready to stop feeling numb and disassociating. You’re ready to stop letting those intrusive negative thoughts dictate your life. You’re ready to dig deep and change those “default settings” into something positive that you create.
I specialize in empowering my clients to be their own best self, grow in self-compassion, and make positive changes in their lives. I’ve often been told that I’m not a “typical therapist”. I’ve been a geek my whole life and I often bring that into sessions with various fandoms and movie quotes.
I’m down to earth and thrive on letting you steer therapy while riding alongside so you’re not alone in your journey. I don’t come in with a preconceived agenda and instead work to meet you where you are at and discover what you truly want from life. I provide an unbiased space for you to be yourself and I like to use humor when appropriate.
