“Andrea has such a calm and peaceful demeanor. She is extremely welcoming and kind-hearted. Andrea made me feel at ease right away. I knew it was a safe space because she didn't push me, she waited for me to open up when I was ready. Conversations were not just one-sided. I walked away from each session with tools and strategies I could try to move forward in my mental health journey.
Andrea has helped me gain a sense of myself back. While I still have more time on my journey, I can say with certainty that I will continue it with Andrea. I highly recommend reaching out to Andrea if you're in need of speaking to someone. ”

“Andrea is such a kind and compassionate person! She really helps me view my problems from a different perspective and helps me break them down in a logical way. You could say that she helps me see the forest through the trees. When we talk she makes me feel heard and seen, like she is really listening to me. I feel a lot better after our sessions, and highly recommend her to anyone who is going through a hard time or just needs someone to talk to. She is very attentive and truly cares about her clients. ”

Getting to know Andrea Golden
I bring over 30 years of experience, combining strong clinical skills with warmth, compassion, and an open mind. My goal is to create a supportive space where we can explore what’s going on beneath the surface, understand the obstacles in your path, and gently shift unhelpful patterns so you can feel more grounded and in control of your life. Whether you're facing anxiety/depression/trauma/life transitions or relationship issues, you're not alone, I’m here to help you learn practical strategies to help you find your peace.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I help pre-teens, teens, and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, and life’s challenges with compassion and proven therapeutic methods. I customize each session to meet you where you are—helping you gain insight and practical tools to move forward. With over 30 years of experience, I’ve learned that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach in therapy. My method is integrative and adaptable, drawing on a range of techniques to find what works best for you. Together, we’ll create a process tailored to your needs, strengths, and goals. My style is warm, collaborative, and straightforward. I’m not here to judge or “fix” you—I’m here to walk alongside you, help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface, and support you in developing practical tools for real life. I want you to feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Whether you’re a teenager, adult, or somewhere in between, I hope therapy becomes a safe space where you can be yourself, challenge old patterns, and grow into a more whole, connected, and grounded person.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first few sessions, we’ll take time to get to know each other and explore what’s bringing you in. We’ll discuss your goals and begin to identify what’s holding you back from feeling better or more connected in your life. I don’t follow a one-size-fits-all model—I pull from different approaches depending on what works best for you. Some days, we’ll focus on learning coping tools, and other days, we might delve deeper into understanding emotions, patterns, or past experiences that are manifesting in the present.
Sessions are 45–55 minutes long and typically occur once a week. You don’t need to have anything perfectly figured out—we’ll work together to find a pace and process that feels supportive and effective.
