Andrew Beer, MA, LLC
There is a path toward greater mental and emotional freedom and well-being in this life. Unpleasant emotions and thoughts can so easily fuel the repetitive loops of critical self-views, anxiety, and depression. Yet the human mind has the incredible capacity to be malleable, adapt, and change for the better.
I utilize elements of mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions and take a special interest in integrating the full scope of human experience (actions, relationships, thoughts, emotions, etc.). I work with clients to cultivate what is supportive and skillful in their lives and to remove the fuel from the vehicle of their suffering.
There is no wrong reason to seek counseling. Connection, understanding, and support are the antidote to isolation and distress. I value empowerment and supporting clients to work toward their goals and values. Please reach out, I would love to hear from you!

Therapy can be intimidating as it can open unresolved emotional wounds and traumas. My goal is to cultivate a safe and non-judgmental space where acceptance, healing, and growth can take place. By collaboratively working through and embracing the complexities and nuances of your thoughts, feelings, and emotions, as well as identifying where they stem from and what they are trying to tell you, we can work towards helping you develop increased self-awareness and self-acceptance.
I work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, stress, mood disorders, life transitions, social anxiety, emotional issues, relationship issues, and grief.

Life affects us all in a variety of ways, but it’s how we respond to those experiences that determine the type of person we are. Some of those experiences can be painful and traumatic.

Being here on this page, shows that you’re taking that step towards internal peace and healing. Your experiences contribute to the layers of who you are, however, those layers don't have to become walls and they don't have to linger on in your everyday existence.
