Kris Andrews
Pre-Licensed Therapist
Hi there, I’m Kris. I’m a queer, dynamic, community builder, connector, and student therapist passionate about being a resource to others. I have a background in corporate HR, spanning over a decade. Being trained in mental health and business, I bring extensive experience to guide your journey. I specialize in partnering with and empowering you to manage and navigate life. This is your journey, and I am thankful to have the chance to walk alongside you.
As someone who has navigated several major life transitions, including a career change after a decade, I’d love to assist you through life’s ever-changing twists and turns. A true believer in the transformative potential of therapy, I would be honored to support you through your therapeutic journey. I offer support during transitional periods and in addressing challenges like weekly stress, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.
Together, we’ll explore the past, embrace the present, and chart a course for the future. I understand the isolation that can accompany transformative experiences, and I’m here to remind you that you’re not alone.
My therapeutic approach integrates various methods, drawing from traditional and open-to-Eastern practices such as tarot, astrology, and human design. Let’s embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth.
Please feel free to contact me. I am happy to discuss how I might be able to help you. Also, if no one has already told you, I’m proud of you for taking the first step to seek therapy! I look forward to supporting you.
Currently under the supervision of Kevin Niehaus (LPCC # 8824).
