About me

Hi there! I am so happy you came across my site and are taking steps to take care of your mental health. I am very passionate about providing mental health services and breaking the stigma around taking care of mental health needs. I think it is vital in the therapeutic process to feel comfortable with your therapist and I wanted to share about myself so you can see if I might be a good fit for you and your teenager. My name is Andrea Kay and I have my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at Tyler. I have been a counselor in Texas since 2016 and have worked in a variety of settings and with many different populations. I've counseled in crisis centers working with people in their lowest battles of depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. I've counseled kids, teens and families at a community counseling center to work on improving communication, setting healthy boundaries and creating healthy home environments. I've counseled teens and young adults through a range of life experiences from general anxiety, transitions, loss, depression and low self-esteem and I also enjoy working with anyone looking to work on general self growth regardless of having a specific area of concern.

My approach is to listen and understand your experiences and collaborate with you to set goals and work toward a more desirable situation. There are a lot of things that we can not control in our lives which is important to acknowledge, and there are also things we can control like our approach, outlook and perspective on our situations. Using an eclectic approach combining cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, narrative therapy and person centered techniques we will work together toward your goals and overall improvement in you mental health.

I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you and be well!

Andrea is the best. It really helps to bounce things off her and get out of my own head. Her ability to help me see things from different perspectives has been vital over this last year.

In the short amount of time I’ve been working with Andrea, I feel seen, I feel heard, I feel like everything I tell her is important and that she genuinely cares about getting to the root of things. Trying to pick up the pieces after a very challenging year has not been easy, but she has made it easier to work through things with practical and useful tools and just letting me talk through things.

She has helped me out so much and even as new things come to light she works on that while making sure past issues/problems are getting better. She's been incredibly patient and accommodating. She also gives resources and perspectives that help me to reflect and calm down, but she never pushes it if you aren't into it.

I am 30 years old and started therapy at 15. I’ve been in various types of counseling off and on for half of my life. Andrea is hands down the best therapist I have ever had. Nonjudgmental, attentive, and fully accepting. There are no words to express my relief of being able to find someone I trust again.

I would recommend her to anyone.

Andrea has been so helpful. I was to the point of I needed to do something and now I have some hope that I can get out of this and live my life. She was very attentive and I felt comfortable talking to her, which I never do. She has so much compassion for my situation. She sent me links to help, made me look at things in a more positive way when all I thought was negativity. I’m so thankful to have had the sessions with her and I hope I can get more.
